Before you buy, in the store

  • Frames come 50, 75 or 100 cm wide, 35 or 58 cm deep, 201 or 236 cm tall: measure your ceiling and doorway first, a PAX frame does not fold.
  • A twisted frame shows straight away: doors no longer close at the top or bottom. Check it is square before taking it apart.
  • Sliding doors need their rails and rollers; the KOMPLEMENT interior is sold separately, so count it into the price.

Used PAX wardrobe: the buying guide

The best savings… if the frames are sound

A complete new PAX (frames, doors, KOMPLEMENT interiors) quickly reaches several hundred euros: it is one of the IKEA purchases where second-hand saves the most in absolute value. The system is modular and stable — 50/75/100 cm frames in 35 or 58 cm depth — so it can be completed new.

But it is also the IKEA piece that suffers most from disassembly: a PAX frame taken apart and rebuilt several times loses rigidity. Disassembly condition is THE buying criterion.

Specific checkpoints

  • Frame screw holes: widened or torn = walk away; ask for close-up photos if the wardrobe is already dismantled.
  • Sliding doors: check both rails, rollers and warp; these are the most expensive parts to replace.
  • Hinged doors: open/close each one and check adjustment — a rubbing door often reveals a warped frame.
  • KOMPLEMENT interiors: drawers, rails and shelves are still sold new; a cheap bare PAX can beat an averagely equipped one.
  • Ceiling height: 201 or 236 cm overall — measure first, a 236 frame cannot be cut down.

What to pay

Discount any already-dismantled frame heavily (at least -60% off new) and reserve higher prices for wardrobes still assembled that you will dismantle carefully yourself. Doors in good shape and KOMPLEMENT parts hold their value well.
