Good morning,

I am struggling with a Pax cabinet. 3 units should be screwed together. (100cm-50cm-100cm). Does it make sense to first assemble each cabinet including the Pax back panel and then screw the units together, or do you screw everything together first and then attach the back panel? Both variants are shown in the manual. I want to avoid that the attached back panel prevents adjusting the units when screwing them together. (The floor is uneven).

I would assemble the back panel (or the entire cabinet) lying down (..the cabinet is lying, not me ), then stand it up and finally connect the units. Or is that the wrong way with 3 units?

Best regards

Gregor

So based on my experience, I would assemble and set up the cabinets including the Pax back panel while lying down. The Pax back panel stabilizes the cabinet quite a bit; without it, the whole thing wobbles too much for me. To level it, the legs on the Pax are there if the floor is uneven. Otherwise, a small wooden wedge or a piece of sturdy cardboard helps if the legs are not enough. That's how we always do it in our showroom at least.
