    Both the PAX and AURDAL closet systems are great choices for people looking to get organized, but it can be tough to decide which one is right for you. Comparing price, features, and design should help you make a more informed decision about which IKEA closet system will work best for your needs!

    I agree that IKEA is great for closets organization! I got a ELVARLI system because it was the one that fit the best in my closet space. All the others left too much waisted space or were too big and wouldn’t fit. The really nice thing is that because they have so many to choose from one is likely to work for your space. But, I really thank you for doing this video and showing people the differences!

    • @FourJaysFour

      Hi we installed the whole closet with aurdal Go with the smaller rails and piece them together. We had to saw it to the right measurements. Love the system. We needed the shorter depth. I like that it is free standing and we can dust underneath. Plus you can put the drawers closer together for a more custom look

    My only closet in my tiny 100 year old house is not even deep enough for a hanger to hang straight. But as I watched your video I realized that I only need one more inch in depth in order for a hanger to hang straight, so maybe I just need to see if they make smaller hangers. I also noticed that the rod is set a little too far back by about 2 inches which makes the hangers also hang at a slant. So I could possibly look for narrower hangers and also move the rod if needed in order to finally hang my clothes straight in my closet!

    For the pax do you have to rip out the baseboards for it to fit? I just installed all the baseboards in my room and had no idea people pull them out when installing the pax! I'm so sad I do not want to take them out!

    • @LilyAndBehold
      @LilyAndBehold Před rokem +2

      Yeah, it definitely helps the unit to sit flush against the wall; otherwise it's not steady and could feel wobbly. It's always best to move the baseboards for the best fit. I'll be having to do that in two weeks as well for my new closet! The sacrifices we make, huh!

  • @veronica4348
    @veronica4348 Před 10 dny

    Important difference between the two is the height. The pax system is about 1 inch taller than my ceiling, whereas the aurdal is about 2-3 shorter than my ceiling. So the choice was made for me unfortunately.

    I have the triple closet Aurdal in my personal bedroom, which was installed prior to my moving in. I give it a big thumbs down. I can't stand the wire type shelving. You can't put any clothing item on it without it leaving marks, so I bought containers the length and width of to put them in, which is not practical when having to search for. With all that being said, the closet it far too small for my clothing and shoes. I'd need a couple of rooms made into closets, for my needs. Lol but true! I'm totally into fashion. I can see the Aurdal closet for my dog if I had one as I'd have clothes and toys for too .. haha ☺️ I can see it working for people with less needs for space, although!
