staircase with a 90-degree landing turn
Tight Fit- the ~96-inch box length is hard to pivot at a mid-flight landing
- a straight run of stairs is far more forgiving than an L-shaped one

IKEA PAX Wardrobe
Model 103.551.18
PAX is IKEA's full-height modular wardrobe system. The frame ships as one long, flat carton, roughly 96 by 24 by 3 inches at about 105 pounds, with doors and interior fittings boxed separately. The eight-foot box length is the hard part: thin and not very wide, but very long to pivot on stairs and around corners.

Frequently Asked Questions
- 01
What size is the PAX wardrobe box?
The single tall PAX frame (100×58×236 cm assembled) ships flat in one carton about 243 by 61 by 8 cm (roughly 96 by 24 by 3 inches), weighing about 47.6 kg (105 lb). Doors and interior fittings are separate articles in their own packaging.
- 02
Why are stairs harder than a door for the PAX box?
The box is only about 3 inches thick, so width and thickness rarely block a doorway. The problem is its 8-foot length — pivoting an 8-foot rigid box around a stair landing or tight turn is where most people get stuck.
- 03
Can two people carry the PAX box up stairs?
At about 105 lb the weight is manageable for two people, but the length makes balance awkward on an incline. On a turning staircase, measure the diagonal clearance at the landing before committing — the checker above can model your stair geometry.
- 04
Are these dimensions guaranteed?
These are IKEA's published figures for the white 100×58×236 cm frame, captured in mid-2026; carton sizes can shift slightly between runs. Measure your stairwell and the box you receive, and rely on the live checker for your exact situation.
