r/ikeahacks on Reddit: Advice on low budget doors alternative for Pax
February 15, 2022 -
I moved into an apartment that came with an old Pax wardrobe. It has definitely seen better days, and I had to install a bunch of right angle brackets to stop it from collapsing. The back panel is falling off and broken in places. But it's been doing its job for me and holding clothes just fine. For whatever reason, it came with no doors, so all its flaws (and my poor job of folding clothes) are on display. I've thought about buying doors for it, but I'm not sure I want to pour $200 into this piece of furniture that I don't plan to take with me when I move out (and only has a few years left before it completely collapses tbh), plus I don't know if everything is straight enough for the doors to meet straight in the middle and not look ridiculous. So I'm trying to figure out what else I can do. Does anyone have advice for how to give it a clean look for relatively cheap?

I used a sheet of plywood for the doors on mine. I had it cut to size for the two doors. You will have to buy a 35mm hinge bit (mine was $8), but otherwise, it’s a very simple DIY project. I didn’t put edge banding on them as I was fine with the stripey industrialish look on the edges, but you can easily do this too.

r/ikeahacks on Reddit: Seeking Alternative (Budget Friendly) Doors for PAX Wardrobe Frame
January 29, 2024 -
Hello fellow IKEA enthusiasts,
I hope this post finds you all well. I recently purchased a PAX Wardrobe frame in white with the dimensions 29 1/2x13 3/4x79 1/8 inches (you can find the product here: PAX Wardrobe Frame), and I'm now on the hunt for doors to complete the setup.
While browsing IKEA's selection, I came across two FORSAND Door options in white that I believe would fit my wardrobe frame perfectly in terms of width:
FORSAND Door - Large: Dimensions 19 1/2x76 5/8 inches.
FORSAND Door - Small: Dimensions 9 5/8x76 5/8 inches.
I plan to put both of these doors together to create a unique look for my PAX wardrobe. However, I'm still open to exploring more budget-friendly alternatives if anyone in the community has experience with other door options that are compatible with the same frame dimensions.
Your insights and recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Have any of you tried combining different door styles for your PAX wardrobe or found creative solutions to achieve a customized look?
I'm looking forward to hearing from the community and learning from your experiences. Thank you in advance for your help!
Thanks.

If you are in need of just one or two doors try your luck in the as is section of your ikea, they might have some doors that were returned or were used on a display for a little while and they will be cheaper. Preferebly choose the ones that are still in regular stock, that way if you need more you can buy them new

It's the sliding doors as a starting point. I suppose when it comes time to fill in the cabinets I could use Elfa inside. We just built a whole new house. In it I've got cabinets from four different companies (Omega, Signature, Christiana and Premier... in order of increasingly ridiculous prices.) So I'm familiar with what can be done with more traditional kitchen cabinetry styles. None of them make the same sort of modular elements found in stuff like Ikea's PAX sliding door cabinets.
