1. "Important product features
- Adjustable feet for high stability."

2. When you see the problems some people have with assembly, you can't generally assume technical understanding.

3. Pax has less than the 18 Ikea millimeters? My Faktum carcasses have 2 cam connectors and 3 wooden dowels. According to the assembly instructions, Pax has 3 cam connectors and 2 wooden dowels.

4. That Besta is built differently is clear to me. I recently assembled several of them, but unfortunately, it turned out that they emit something that causes mucous membrane irritation; therefore, Besta is dead to me anyway, just so you know. My main concern was that misleading information is given about the load capacity (only on the website, nowhere on the product itself) and you cannot blame the buyer for user error if they want to store their weight plate collection in it. The restriction to 30 kg in total for wall mounting probably also stems more from the questionable mounting bracket.

I once made an inquiry through the contact form. Let's see what IKEA says about it.

2. Ditto, inquiry to IKEA

3. That's true and I have to revoke my response from the previous comment. Unfortunately, it was wrong.

But, in my opinion, this now also misses the point.

4. I can't comment on the off-gassing. I agree with you on the wall mount. If there were a proper mount attached, I would also find it safer. But that's our opinion.

I will get back to you when I have an answer from IKEA...

P.S.:

If I attach the wall mount as IKEA intends, I will probably be able to achieve additional stability. So, if I have no base on the floor and the edge of the cabinet is directly against the wall, I will definitely achieve better stability. Then the statement "Adjustable feet for better stability" is correct.

So, here is the official statement from IKEA:

IKEA Service Center:
"Dear Mr. ***,

thank you for your inquiry.

The leveling screw you mentioned does not serve as a foot and does not bear any weight from the carcass. This is supported by the side panels and the base. This screw can be used to compensate for minimal floor unevenness (e.g., in old buildings).

Best regards

*** ***

1st response
Good day Mr. Maier,

thank you for your message.
The adjustable feet are used to compensate for floor unevenness.

Best regards

2nd response

Instructions from Pax

So it is now clear that the feet are only for small unevenness.
