I just built an entire closet with the old system alone - 4 units plus the corner attachment. The hardest part was attaching the back alone . I wish I waited and got this new system where the back problem is solved.

@cionheart 3 месяца назад

I'll have to move with a lot of the old PAX and I know it'll be a horror especially because of the nails in the back panel. This new design looks amazing, can't wait to see it in person! Thank you very much for sharing!

@cionheart Месяц назад

@@therealmarintiaescobedo I actually moved after my last post. I didn't waste time and removed the back of the PAX in a destructive way and reordered the back panels at my local tool store (they cut by measurements). I installed them with screws instead of nails, game changer!

@theleefamily6446 2 месяца назад

It depends on the size you're building. I purchased the 39 3/8x13 3/4x92 7/8", and while I have purchased this size before and assembled it myself, this time around it took two people and twice as long. The rail to connect at the back is the first step, and it is not an improvement. This step also does not allow for movement after it is built if you need to make slight adjustments in placing. It is also harder with the accordion back the taller and wider the unit. We had to attach a piece of trim into the stud to allow the rail to then be flush and not have the entire unit leaning backwards because it is on carpet and we have baseboards. Also the accordion back wanted to fold in the entire time we were working.

@ItsOnlyWarPaint 3 месяца назад

You did well to film all that, it will make a great online manual for people to follow 🎥 You took one for the team, taking that all apart and re-building it 🔨 Shame about that broken piece People shouldn’t be put off by the older version, I think they are pretty easy to put together, as long as you have the space to build them and the strength to lift them, they aren’t difficult It’s not been the warmest of June’s 🥶

USA stores are showing stock now, but the wall mounting process is different than other countries. I find that very interesting.

@kirstygriffiths749 3 месяца назад

That is interesting to know.

@RaePW 3 месяца назад

@kirstygriffiths749 In the USA the units are mounted on a metal rail across the back. The back panel has a square section cut out of the top corners that you later cover with plastic pieces. I wonder if it has something to do with each country's safety requirements for securing furniture to the wall.

@theleefamily6446 2 месяца назад

Yes, it is not an improvement.

@karenwelmas7774 Месяц назад

Yes, the rail system of installation is a pain. I just built 3 wardrobes last night, and the rail installation was a pain. Also noticed that the front “panel” on the bottom is flat in this video. Mine (USA) was grooved and it was incredibly difficult to get flush!

@craigball480 3 месяца назад

Great video and very helpful. I assembled my Pax 2.0 wardrobes today. I ordered a run of 50+100+50cm carcasses, 236cm tall with Reinsvoll doors. Worth mentioning the 50cm wide units now also fold in the centre like the 100cm do. The hardest part was unfolding them whilst vertical, but once the back rail was in place assembly was a breeze. The design of these is really well thought through, and the tall units feel quite sturdy. Really pleased how it turned out.

@kirstygriffiths749 3 месяца назад

Thanks for the feedback on the new Pax . I think the multiple folds are the 75 & 100 in the shorter depth.

@ciel6347 3 месяца назад

@craigball Did you find any video or other detailed guidance on how to install the back rail at the proper height/angle for your floor? This video and similar videos on RU-vid frustratingly all seem to omit the mounting step and only show how to put together the new frame together freestanding, which is not the difficult part.

@craigball480 3 месяца назад

@@ciel6347 I only found this one and one more which show assembly. Not sure what you mean by back rail. The only back rail is one at the base that slides into the black clips in the corner. The only attachment to the wall is through two holes located in the top corners, and you drill into the wall. If you intend to put a timber batten on the wall to screw into, then you will have a gap behind your wardrobe.

@ciel6347 3 месяца назад

@@kirstygriffiths749 Thanks! Yes it is the new Pax. However the one in Canada (and US I believe) has a metal plate thing you have to drill into the wall (and they don't provide the hardware for that 'since it depends on your wall material').

The instructions are not clear at all -as usual- and I can't understand how they say to first hang them and then, add the mirrors! That is impossible and so, I am in the process of taking everything down to reassemble on the floor and then, figure out a way to hang the doors -which, will be heavier than heavy with all the glass in.- 😩

Then, I hired a handyman who attempted to put the thing together, couldn’t, gave up, and it cost me $600! It is really pretty but it was a nightmare especially, because this new one came with parts that didn’t fit together, shorter screws than what’s needed to attach two pieces, and a bunch of other issues.

@ciel6347 3 месяца назад

A very similar new pax frame appears to be available on Ikea's USA website but it appears to come with a wall-mounting rail. Did yours come with a rail? The rail part number in the new manuals is 10116976, 10116987, or 10117011 depending on the width of the frame. It is unclear to me if the rail is an optional anchoring mechanism for tipping prevention or is a significant structural part for the back board. If the former, I am confused why the frame can't anchor directly into the behind wall like the older pax frame designs. I am having a hard time finding a video that shows how to install the rail, which i think adds significantly increased difficulty to the installation process for a novice DIYer.
