Instructions for assembling furniture vary greatly however there are certain products that don’t really go far enough. The initial ones that spring to mind are:
- Rauch Wardrobes (Mainly Sliderobes from Harveys)
- Ikea Building Multiple PAX Wardrobes Together
- Ikea Building Pax Wardrobes Standing Up
Rauch Wardrobes (Mainly Sliderobes from Harveys)
The instructions for building these wardrobes are more of a schematic, i.e. an exploded view of the item, and you have to figure out how to assemble them.
A few weeks ago I was assembling one and took a few photos along the way. I have now written up the guide and it is at the location below on the Flat Pack Advice website:-
Rauch Wardrobes Assembly Guide
The guide is offered free as is, to complement the instructions supplied and to help someone see the stages and emphasise why certain parts are crucial.
Ikea Building Multiple PAX Wardrobes Together
The instructions supplied by Ikea are pictorial so that they do not need translating. This leaves a lot to be desired for some people, but others do not have a problem with it. However, there does not appear to be, to my knowledge any information provided officially by Ikea in terms of how to assemble multiple PAX wardrobes so as to build a range of say 3-4 along one wall. I have put together a guide to give a better idea.

Ikea Building Pax & Hoben Wardrobes Standing Up
In some situations you need to build PAX or Hoben wardrobes standing up. This area is frought with distaster whether there are one or two of you. One of the main things to concentrate on is building stability as you go.
In the Hoben range a small square of hard board is provided for this purpose, however the technique I use does not require this and can be done easily on your own without a second pair of hands.
