Help! Pax Wardrobe with 2 doors + 2 drawers

Help! I was trying to assemble a pax wardrobe with 2 doors (vikedal) + 2 drawers. The doors do not seem to fit. The tops of the doors exceed the top of the wardrobe by around 0.5-1.0 inch and the hinge does not align with the top holes on the frame. Has anyone had the same problem? I was wondering whether it had anything to do with the 2 drawers, but we already followed the instructions for that, and they seem to align perfectly. Any thoughts will be much appreciated! =)

Re: Help! Pax Wardrobe with 2 doors + 2 drawers

Assuming that the drawers are aligned with the bottom of the cabinet, is the bottom of the doors aligned with the top of the drawers or is there any gap there (between the top drawer and the doors)?

Another suggestion: have you tried turning the doors upside down?

Re: Help! Pax Wardrobe with 2 doors + 2 drawers

Thanks for the quick reply ... Yes, we tried turning it upside down.. I was doing the measurements, the height of the frame is 79", the 2 drawers amount to about 13.5", then the base is around 3". This leaves 62.5" for the door, but the door measures 63 5/8"... Am I missing something?

Is it really 63 5/8" or is that a typo? The doors are supposed to be 62 5/8", so if that is actually true then we're talking about a deffective item that has to be returned.
