    In the UK, IKEA are already selling the PAX 2.0 frame in Beige.
    Update after assembling PAX 2.0
    1. Definitely a lot easier to assemble. Takes about 10-15 minutes a frame.
    2. It will be easy to dismantle.
    3. The 4 x support legs are a huge upgrade from the earlier model. Makes leveling a lot easier & quicker.
    4. Lighter in weight but definitely still like good.

    Previously, and when I was much younger, I purchased and installed PAX some of them by myself, and in order to be able to carry them up three stories of stairs (or even carry at all) I needed to take out and carry only one side at a time. There was no way I could carry the entire thing by myself. Even when assisted by a strong male we still opened the boxes downstairs and carried one piece at a time.
    Although I never had ikea delivered, I did have the impression they effectively only deliver to the kerb ie they won’t carry up the stairs for me either - so if as remotely as heavy as previously this rules out PAX as being at all viable for me in the future

    I am in France and I assembled a Pax 2.0 a few weeks ago. I did not like the bottom folding system. Of course you no longer have to nail the bottom and then tilt the wardrobe but unfolding the bottom alone and stiffening the whole thing is complicated. Overall I found the whole thing less solid but that may just be an impression.

    Two weeks ago we bought two sets of pax wardrobes for two bedrooms (2 x 236x100x58 and 2x 236x50x58, one of each to go in each room) One room had the grey/beige and the other had the dark grey. We built the 2 units in the grey beige first and found it to be a doddle and then our daughter and partner (who had previously bought and assembled a pax1 unit) built the dark grey for us which they found to be the same type of assembly as theirs so they didn't raise any questions. The thing is, we weren't told when buying them that these two sets were different variations,why? on the outside they are obviously identical but inside,the pax1 has unsightly screw holes that at the time of typing,I cannot find any caps to cover them with. I think we should have been informed when buying the units that they were different to assemble.

    Hi I was about to purchase the old pax system for three rooms, thats a lot of wardrobes however upon researching installation I was excited for the new version to come to Australia. However now I’m undecided if I should get the old system or wait for the new ones. I don’t want to compromise on the quality and regret it as I’ll be getting close to 9 x 100cm 2x 75cm and 3 x 50cm all 236 height. So that’s a lot of cupboards. Needing advice

    DON'T buy the new pax! We bought six of them, 100cm wide, and every one of them, the backboard came loose and detached as we were installing them. We previously owned the older pax and were very happy. The new version is flimsy, if you have the 100cm width the shelves bend in the middle, and the ceiling board also easily pulls loose from the vertical sides once the closet is loaded up with clothes. The previous pax we owned stored the exact same items with no issues.

      I'm expecting mine this week and just keeping everything crossed I get one of the older ones. I didn't realise they were already sending out 2.0 before the announced July launch. There is no way pricea are reduced without cuts to quality too. They sell it as "convenience" but it is inevitably just a cost cut at a detriment to quality. So disappointing.

      This! We've bought 2 100cm units yesterday and wanted to install them. We unfolded them very carefully and still the left side just rips off. We then tried the second unit, same scenario! Went back to IKEA and got 2 new ones, started the new one, SAME THING HAPPENS. I am so over this, you can clearly see that the left side does not have enough glue attached to it. Going back to IKEA today and will be asking them for a refund because this is just ridiculous

      ​@kylebeach4051 Absolutely! I was fortunate enough to be sent the old style unit. I think there is still a good amount of the older stock in the UK but the newly launched colours are of course coming in the 2.0. My handyman damaged a piece during the build and the replacement stock sent (several weeks after the original order) was still the original Pax. I'm very pleased with it.

    Just went to order some new drawers to replace a couple of broken ones for my original PAX 1 wardrobe. But sadly I can't find the original 93cm or the smaller 43cm width drawers on the IKEA website. Only the 100cm one & 50cm. So PAX 2 drawers are in fact incompatible with the PAX 1 version. Unless I have missed something here, IKEA are forcing people to buy a whole new wardrobe instead of a couple of replacement drawer. Bit disappointing

    Wish I had known about this, I would have waited for 2.0 instead of buying and stockpiling the older parts in my master bedroom for a year. They look easy to put together too. I can put the old ones together in 15 min using a nail gun for the back, but the back is the worst part. These don't seem much better with reagrds to the back, but they are Similar to the new ENHET with the keyhole slots. I don't think they will be as sturdy, but when you screw a few of them together, maybe so. I would have much rather pur 14 of these together than the old ones. At least the Komplement parts will fit.

    This update looks awful as an avid dyier. No option to cut down length, if the backboard breaks (highly prone to due to its flimsyness), much more difficult to repair, inflexible design whereby earlier you could combine 2 broken paxes together by swapping parts, now much harder since the sideboards and top boards can't be rotated and plastic parts that are unique and harder to replace. This is honestly so sad and I really hope it doesn't go through. I still have a bunch of old pax parts at home that I was planning on assembling and selling, but now I'm not so sure anymore. (Edit for fixing grammar mistakes).
