New 29" width PAX unit

At the Tempe Ikea, I noticed that the brown-black PAX comes in three sizes now-- roughly, the 19", 29", and 39", but only in the 92" height. The folks at Ikea told me that they do not have a door for the 29" width.

Is there a door Ikea makes that would fit the 29" frame? I kind of like the PAX Drammen made out of aluminum and glass. I also plan on cutting the height down, since they told me that there aren't any plans to make the brown-black in the 79" height.

Thanks.

Re: New 29" width PAX unit

This is a tough one ... in aluminum and glass, the Avsikt doors will be too wide if doubled (2x15), and the Billy doors will be even wider if doubled.

The closest thing I can think of is a 24x80 Avsikt pantry door + fill in the remaining 5-1/2" with a piece of 1x6 MDF painted in silver or pine stained in black-brown.

Re: New 29" width PAX unit

Apparently, in that wonderful Ikea fashion, as far as I know they only have it in the brown-black. Also, I noticed that only the brown-black PAX Hemnes wardrobe has a rounded laminated finish to the edges of the wardrobe, so you can't easily see the seams of the foil. In addition, unlike the other PAX lines, the brown-black is made in Italy!

Oh, and I don't think there is any of the Komplement stuff that will fit in the 29" wide unit (I haven't really investigated this).

I'm not even sure the corner units come in brown-black!
