This is misleading. Putting the unit together per the instructions builds a solid unit. You should make it clear that you intentionally were not building it as directed.
Very weird that you had to do this. A pax unit that has been properly constructed is guaranteed for 10 years in the U.K. because it’s a solid piece of furniture. Does this mean that the US and U.K. ones are different?
I think they're the same everywhere. I live in Morocco and my pax closet is also guaranteed 10 years and is very very sturdy so I dont understand why she needed to add support
I had to do it is because I did not construct them with the bottom part the way that it supposed to be because I wanted baseboards instead of the open area
You did a phenomenal job but I have a question….how did you attach the 1x3 support to cabinet as I have the tallest pax cabinet system and see what you mean on how flimsy the cabinet is and it definitely needs more support for sure but it was hard to tell in your video on how you attached those supports
It's not all about skill. Using Pax as the starter is a huge time saver. You don't have to do as much finish work and painting. You don't have to drill all the shelf pin holes.
What shelvings did you put at the very top of your Pax Wardrobe? My ceilings are really high, so I want to lengthen the tops and install a library ladder, so that’s why I’m wondering. Thanks!
And also raise it towards the back side, as its clearly shown in the instructions. Buy hey, some idiot will probably comment here that we are mansplaining anyway.
Ermm… you see that packet of panel pins and the odd pear-shaped black thing in the hardware pack that came with the carcass? You use them to fix the back panels to the rebated edge at the back of the wardrobes. You’re welcome!
Ive had mine for 7 years and have no had a single issue with it. It was the first project in my first house and did 0 prep work and it has been fantastic
you are not supposed to stand them up from the side (the part when they fall apart in your video). I just built yesterday 2 pax, all went fine, you just have to follow the instructions.
Why did you say you wished you added spacers? Can you elaborate? Is it for aesthetics to match the baseboards and front plates you added? Or for a practical reason?

No she did not nail the back onto the unit before standing it up I have the same ones in the US and they are also guaranteed for ten years
@@For-get-me-notsAndRoses Just noticed so she did all that extra work because she didn’t read the instructions??!!
@@ladyn5273 Yes

Doesn’t need more support. You just didn’t read the instructions…
Maybe she just wanted more support 🙄… she wasn’t throwing up a one piece …she was combining multiple wardrobes for master closet..
Agreed
If it's mounted well it holds very well.
Finally! I have the same exact space for my wardrobe!! Now I have a better idea!
Amazing! I think I definitely need to do this with my hubbys closet
Awesome
Girl I need the full version
Great idea on the side for shoes 👌🏻👌🏻

With all her tools and skill she could have just made a much stronger one with plywood than using Ikea Pax

and it would have taken much longer and been more expensive
Harder to get a smooth finish
Yay, you save it!
Looks great
Nice work!
Awesome x
Good work!

Did you put the shoe shelves at an angle just using the provided hardware?
Haha I have my washer and dryer in a pax and you have to do all this hahaha
I don't get it. What's funny?
Why did you wish you had added spacers between the units?
I’m assuming because the face frames she attached were wider than 2 cabinet sides together.
@@christophercrawford2736 Even though she could trim off the frame that's hanging off the sides with an oscillating tool.
@@princessbc9791 that would look god awful. Better to trim them down to size with a table saw.
@@christophercrawford2736 Agreed.
awesome ♥️
That never happened to me. Ikea Pax systems are pretty sturdy
Not a bad idea if time building yourself is an issue or you’re just learning and especially for a closet
Can you share full video please
I am doing a series - the full video may be SUPER long!
@@getknottydiy Can’t wait! It looks like you did an amazing job!
I would also like to see more of this. I would like to do something similar
@@getknottydiy yes that would be great
Why did you wish you would have spacers and in between where?
What’s the cost of this upgrade?
Happy dusting
😂😂
All out of PAX system in NJ/NY area. Placed an order 4 months ago and still waiting
is there a full video link?? i need a step by step explanation please!! thank you!
What type of under-shelf lighting did you use?
You are supposed to nail in that white backer that flung out lol that holds the unit square
And also raise it towards the back side, as its clearly shown in the instructions. Buy hey, some idiot will probably comment here that we are mansplaining anyway.
The base you built from wood = DIY; the comlete closet with all shelfs is bought No DIY 🤨🤨
Hi, you used your own toe kick/kickboard. I noticed that the backboard is short. Were you able to use the original toe kick to cover the gap?
How did you nail the face plate to angle for shoes?
And thank you for reaffirming that I will not getting anything for my kids because I do not want it to fall apart
She did not hammer in the nails as instructed...it's rock solid with those
How much was the whole closet?
What lights did you use ?
For the bases did you secure them to the wall?
I use XCEL IGA. Best adhesive that I have ever seen and best I have ever used.
young lady you are a great worker and your beauty . Your work is second to none may God continue to bless you and your family
The back was on but she didn't nail it all the way around
hi... ia m new to diy.. i just want to know why did you make a 2 by 4 base for these cabinets
Where to buy the first place what are the lighting’s
Why did you make a frame to fit the boxes??
What was clearly needed was reading the freaking instructions. It clearly tells you to raise it from the ground towards the back side not the side.
The backing would only fall out if you don't use the nails
Question- why did you add. 2x4 base at the bottom of the wardrobes? Does that help with anything?
My question also
I think to accommodate a baseboard/crown molding!
How much did all that cost?
Not really the point of ikea furniture. Typical example of making things complicated for no reason 😂😂😂
Ikea furniture is cheap crap. She did right.
Where did you but nails ???
Ermm… you see that packet of panel pins and the odd pear-shaped black thing in the hardware pack that came with the carcass?
You use them to fix the back panels to the rebated edge at the back of the wardrobes.
You’re welcome!
I've seen people spell shelving wrong, but it I've ever heard it verbally pronounced "shelfing". 😂
😂
How much cheaper is this?
"needed more support... because i did not know how to assemble it correctly"
Nice job. I've had Ikea before, won't last a yr without the work you did.
Ive had mine for 7 years and have no had a single issue with it. It was the first project in my first house and did 0 prep work and it has been fantastic
Pure nonsense.
More support? You just built it wrong i had and still have no problems with it.
is Ikea reliable?
Shelfings????
How much all together was your closet?
what is ""liquefied nails"
I’ve built loads of pax wardrobes and they didn’t require extra support 🤷🏻♀️
you are not supposed to stand them up from the side (the part when they fall apart in your video). I just built yesterday 2 pax, all went fine, you just have to follow the instructions.
First mistake: going to IKEA
Get the same darn thing @ walmart for half the price.. lol
I agree. lol @@wessunde2801
Why did you say you wished you added spacers? Can you elaborate? Is it for aesthetics to match the baseboards and front plates you added? Or for a practical reason?
So basically don’t shop at IKEA?
ا
Too fast. Slow down.
Read the instructions and stop, take a moment and re read if your not sure…….
There was a lot of unnecessary work
where is the man who did this all?
So much mansplaining.. I say Good job and thank you!
So now the instructions, that are clearly showing you how to raise it correctly, are also mansplaining ? You need to seek help.
w- women
Go to the kitchen and bake cakes
May as well have built from scratch at that point
