IKEA PAX Assembly Belfast Professional Wardrobe Installation

Planning an IKEA PAX wardrobe is exciting — assembling it is another story!

PAX systems are large, heavy, and precision-based, which means even small mistakes in planning or assembly can lead to misaligned doors, unsafe units, or costly rework.

At Flatpack Heroes Belfast, we specialise in professional IKEA PAX wardrobe assembly. Whether you’ve already designed your wardrobe using the IKEA PAX Planner or you’re still deciding, this guide explains what PAX is, how it works, and how to prepare for a smooth, stress-free installation.

What is IKEA PAX?

IKEA PAX is a modular wardrobe system designed to be customised to your space.

Instead of buying a single fixed wardrobe, PAX allows you to build a made-to-measure storage solution by combining:

Tall wardrobe frames
Internal fittings (drawers, shelves, rails, baskets)
Hinged or sliding doors
Lighting and accessories

Using the IKEA PAX Planner, customers can design a wardrobe that fits their room layout, storage needs, and budget — all before ordering.

PAX wardrobes are typically floor-to-ceiling units, which makes accurate assembly, levelling, and wall anchoring essential for safety and appearance.

Why PAX Assembly Is Different?

Unlike standard flatpack furniture, PAX wardrobes:

Are very tall and heavy
Must be assembled in the room where they’ll stand
Require precise levelling for doors and drawers to operate correctly
Must be securely fixed to the wall

This is why many customers choose a professional assembly service — to ensure the wardrobe is built safely, functions perfectly, and looks exactly as planned.
