hello everyone,

I am about to move and we want to get a bigger, shared bedroom wardrobe. Pax appeals to us very much, especially the dark sliding doors (UGGDAL), although they probably don’t fit the budget. We have a little more than 250 cm available.

I have the following questions for you:
1. Are sliding door wardrobes really only available in widths of 150 and 200 cm? Except for those with sliding doors in aluminum frame (Lyngdal)? For two people it should be the 250 cm one, I think, anything else will be tight again. Unfortunately, 300 cm won’t fit!
2. What do you recommend? Are hinged doors presumably more durable? Are there frequent problems with sliding doors? I guess my girlfriend will slam the sliding doors recklessly and it won’t last long :s
3. Online shopping seems to be the cheapest option or am I missing something?
4. Does assembly go reasonably smoothly or should you invest the money in professional installers?

Thanks in advance…
Greetings

1. Yes.
2. Sliding doors are not less durable. Get your girlfriend a governess. Since you say under 1. that it should be 2.50 m, the decision is actually clear.
3. The shipping costs? Ultimately, it depends on whether you would have to rent a cart, for example, when buying at the furniture store or have it delivered. Also, PAX carcasses are currently being sold off cheaply on site because colors are changing. For example, the white will be different.
4. That depends on your skills. But if Uggdal is too expensive, then so is probably a fitter.
