Hello,
Just about to order 100cm wide PAX wardrobes.
The PAX back panels seem a bit flimsy and I am guessing that they will bulge if anything is pushed against them from the inside of the wardrobe.

Does anyone have a suggestion for backing them up? I was thinking of fixing some ply battens across the back. Say 10cm wide 9mm thick, spaced 50cm vertically. Any views from anyone?

Hi Malcolm
Yes, you are right. The PAX back panels are a bit flimsy and will bulge if you lean something against it, from inside.
I’ve not had a need to reinforce the back panels of my PAX wardrobe, so I’ve not given this a go.
But, I think your idea of ply battens should work.
Anyone else with a brilliant idea?

#4 How to shorten PAX wardrobes?
I moved into a new house with a huge open closet room with no storage. I designed my entire walk-in gorgeous closet using the PAX system, but now have realized my ceiling is too low. The ceiling is 78 1/4” tall. Can the PAX system be cut down? Would you cut the bottom or the top?
