IKEA PAX Assembly: What Is Included?
A PAX wardrobe is a collection of components, so the quote should identify each part of the finished setup. Include the frames, interior fittings and selected door system together. The required wall attachment also belongs in the installation scope.
Wardrobe Frames
Identify the quantity, width, depth and height of each frame. Straight runs, corner units and existing frames should be shown in the overall layout.
KOMPLEMENT Interiors
Include drawers, shelves, clothes rails, baskets and pull-out accessories. Their quantities and positions affect the work inside each wardrobe section.
Doors & Fittings
Send the selected doors with the matching hinges or track components. Hinged doors and sliding systems involve different parts and clearance checks.
Wall Attachment
PAX must be secured as specified in its instructions. Wall construction, the correct fixing method and any restrictions need review before scheduling.
Want a built-in look? Mention fillers, crown trim, lighting or room alterations before requesting a price. A furniture assembly quote does not automatically cover cutting panels, changing baseboards or relocating electrical outlets. These requests need separate review.
How to Read Your PAX Assembly Configuration
A front view shows the wardrobe’s appearance. The item list reveals what must be assembled. Send both when possible: the overall planner view and the full list with article numbers and quantities.
You do not need to retype every part. Clear screenshots or a saved shopping list help show the complete project. Include additional list pages so doors, hinges and smaller fittings are not left out.
If a frame arrives in more than one package, box count alone can be misleading. Use the product list to identify complete items and their required packages.
Example: Two Frames With Drawers and Doors
This sample parts list explains how a quote request is read. It is an example, not a completed customer job. Sizes and compatibility still need to match the chosen frames.
| Component | Quantity | What the quote should identify |
|---|---|---|
| PAX frames | 2 | Exact articles, dimensions, layout and required attachment. |
| Interior drawers | 4 | Drawer assembly, the matching runners and their planned positions. |
| Shelves | 4 | The shelf sizes and placement within the two frames. |
| Clothes rails | 2 | Rail sizes, fittings and the intended hanging sections. |
| Hinged doors | 4 | Compatible door sizes, matching hinges and any selected handles. |
A request for “two PAX frames” leaves out the drawers, shelves, rails and doors in this example. Send the entire configuration so the quote can cover the intended finished wardrobe.
IKEA PAX Assembly Cost in Philadelphia
The final price depends on the complete wardrobe and the installation conditions. A frame-only request and a storage wall with drawers, doors and accessories involve different work, even when their overall widths are similar.
Frames & Interior Work
The number of frames matters, but repeated drawer builds, runners, baskets and pull-out accessories also affect the scope. Show the inside of every section.
Doors & Existing Furniture
Door type and hardware need to match the frames. Tell us if doors are being added to an existing wardrobe or any assembly has already been started.
Room & Installation Conditions
Wall details, obstacles, access and the location of the boxes can affect the work plan. Flag these before scheduling so the quote reflects the site.
Include other furniture at the same address in your request. The full list helps us review the combined job and discuss pricing and scheduling together.
Preparing Your Room for PAX Wardrobe Assembly
Check the space where the wardrobe will stand before assembly begins. A clear photo of the entire wall, plus any close-ups of obstacles, helps explain conditions that a product link cannot show.
| Check | What to look for | What to send |
|---|---|---|
| Ceiling & overhead space | Ceiling height, soffits and fixtures above the planned position. | The measured height and exact frame and door articles. |
| Wall & baseboards | The available wall, projecting trim and any known attachment restrictions. | A straight-on wall photo and a close-up of the baseboard. |
| Outlets & obstacles | Outlets, switches, vents, radiators and other items near the wardrobe. | A photo showing their position relative to the planned frames. |
| Floor & door movement | Visible floor slope, thick carpet and space for doors or drawers to open. | A wider view of the floor and furniture in front of the wardrobe. |
| Boxes & access | The box location, route to the final room, stairs and building access. | Your ZIP code and any access details affecting the appointment. |
Keep the work area ready. Place the delivery in or near the final room when practical, clear nearby furniture and keep the instructions, labels and fittings together. Confirm that the required packages are available before arranging completion of the build.
PAX Frames, Wall Attachment & Door Clearance
A wardrobe’s listed height is only one part of a fit check. The frame design, door system and assembly instructions determine the working clearances and installation sequence.
Use the Exact Article Instructions
Some PAX designs use a foldable frame mounted upright. Do not assume that instructions or measurements for another PAX version apply to yours. Keep the article labels available, particularly when combining new parts with an existing wardrobe.
Plan for the Required Wall Fixing
PAX must be secured according to its instructions. Suitable fixings depend on the wall material. Tell us about drilling restrictions and unusual wall conditions before booking; adding doors does not remove the attachment requirement.
Baseboards, corners and nearby room doors can affect placement or movement. Share these details before assembly so any fit or installation concern can be reviewed with the complete layout.
Help With Partly Assembled PAX Furniture
If the build has stopped, show the current condition before requesting a completion price. A partly assembled wardrobe needs a different review from a new, unopened delivery.
Photos That Explain the Remaining Work
- A full view of every frame and the surrounding room.
- A close-up of the step or connection where work stopped.
- The remaining doors, drawers, fittings and labeled packages.
- Any visible damage, missing parts or already-installed wall attachments.
Get the Next Step Reviewed
Include the article numbers or instruction step if known. Missing components or damaged panels may need replacement before the wardrobe can be completed. The review helps identify the remaining assembly and anything that must be resolved first.

Questions About IKEA PAX Wardrobe Assembly
How much does IKEA PAX assembly cost?
Selected PAX projects start at $199. The final quote reflects the complete configuration, current condition, location and installation requirements.
Do you need my complete IKEA shopping list?
Yes. Send the overview and full item list when possible. A frame-only link can leave out doors, hinges, drawers and other interior fittings.
Is the wardrobe height enough to check ceiling clearance?
No. Check the exact frame and door instructions. Assembly space, sliding-door requirements and overhead fixtures can affect whether the planned setup fits.
Can PAX be left without wall attachment?
PAX must be secured according to the applicable IKEA instructions. Share the wall conditions and any drilling restrictions before scheduling.
Can you review doors for an existing PAX wardrobe?
Send photos, frame article numbers and the proposed doors and fittings. Compatibility, current condition and the remaining installation work need review before a quote.
What if parts are missing or damaged?
Show the affected area and available parts. Replacements may be needed before completion. Our Finish My Assembly service explains what to send.
Are custom trim and electrical changes included?
Those changes are not automatically included in furniture assembly. Describe any built-in finish, lighting or room alteration you expect when requesting the quote.
Can other furniture be included in the same request?
Yes. Include every item, its quantity and product link so the complete job at the same address can be reviewed together.
