Successor of Ikea Pax cabinets in birch

Hello dear ones,

maybe I should briefly introduce myself as a newcomer in this group:

male, 58 years old, "home-Ikea" Duisburg.

A few weeks ago, I noticed that the Pax wardrobes in birch were slowly disappearing from online ordering. Try to order a 100x35x201 corpus in birch. It doesn’t work.

But since I am now starting to renew my bedroom with Pax, I didn’t like that at all. A nice lady at the hotline explained to me after some “hemming and hawing” that IKEA is announcing a successor to Pax in an internal email. The date given was March 1st. However, the lady told me that such announcement dates usually get postponed by weeks. She advised me not to start with my wardrobe now. The new Pax are somewhat more modern in design, rounder, younger. AND, they are not compatible with the old corpuses. “So if you buy the 3.5 meter corpuses now, it may happen that in half a year you want to buy the doors afterwards (that was exactly what I had planned!) and find out that the new doors do not fit the old corpuses.” For this sentence I thanked her very much.

Has anyone of you heard anything similar? Since I think IKEA introduces the news first in Sweden, I keep watching the Swedish homepage constantly, but so far there is nothing new there either. Now I have decided to wait.

Best regards

Toots

uuuuh that's good to know! I'm also currently in the process of buying a PAX and don't have the money for everything at once ops: but I don't think they'll completely change the product range from "one day to the next"...maybe gradually...sometimes a corpus here, sometimes a door there....or????

So if I observe IKEA online worldwide, it initially seems to refer to the birch surface. It seems mainly to be that the carcasses and doors are not compatible. Of course, if the new carcasses have rounder shapes, the old doors cannot fit optimally.

Another thought: was that perhaps also the reason for the big Pax 3 for 2 promotion in recent weeks?

Have a nice weekend

who is going straight to [Butzweiler Hof].

Hello Toots,

we just bought a Pax as well and the salesman advised us against birch or to wait another two to three months, as the range is being changed. But since it was quite urgent, we decided on antique stain and I have to say I like it much better now
I have also been to [butzweilerhof], really nice there - and so spacious. I especially liked the roundabout

Hej Lisa,

finally another concrete clue. Thank you for the posting.
Yesterday in Cologne I was still able to buy shelves 100x35, although they
no longer appear online.

Have a nice Sunday to you all

Toots

Oh no, I don't know anything about a PAX successor. I'll have to investigate tomorrow first.
