Tips for Assembling Ikea Pax Wardrobes

Apologies in advance for all my Ikea threads!

Have just bought four wardrobes (4 x 75cm) which are 236cm high with sliding doors ( half mirror half white stained oak).

I am already dreading having to build them! Have found a few threads already on here with some tips ie/ cutting out skirting board if need to screw them to the wall.

Any other tips? Do you build them on the floor then lift up or build them up against the wall t make sure they don't scrape against ceiling when lift up? I am hoping they will fit! The Ikea designer measured herself and said they will fit so hoping she was right!.

Haven't done the interiors yet for the wardrobe as thought my head was going to explode in Ikea yesterday so that will be a whole different thread!

Thanks in advance!

Oh that's rubbish!

It really was not something you could do without instructions!

@Theonlyoneiknow Hello! Did you install your PAX wardrobe sliding doors successfully in the end? My ceiling is 239.5cm, the same as yours. My current PAX wardrobe uses hinge doors and I want to change it to sliding doors. I look forward to your reply, many thanks!
