Need help choosing LED lighting for long reach-in closet
Comments (4)Not enough light by a long shot. If you want inexpensive and good light, Find some low-profile linear T5 luminaires and run them the length of the closet. Get high CRI (90+) lamps so your colors look right. For light levels do one of two things. (1) Choose two-lamp luminaires and wire them so you can choose single or two lamps at a time. Choose program-start ballasts for the correct light level. (2) Get a dimming ballast for the correct light output and the right number of lamps for the light level that you need....See MoreMoving the rail inward for the 14" PAX Closet System
Comments (4)You've got the actual rod and the actual clothes on hangers, so you should be able to tell if you'll truly have enough clearance. BUT....the standard depth for a clothes closet is 24", so that the clothes won't brush against the back wall. So, measure carefully where you want that rod to fall, so that you can be sure there will be enough clearance in the back. Hangers are often 17.5" across, so divide that in half, and you'd need the center of your rod to fall about 9.5" from the back, maybe a little more. Don't crowd them too close....See MoreIKEA experts - any upcoming PAX sales?
Comments (37)As for the "blame game" comment, I'll be happy to address it. IKEA has failed miserably during covid-19 and I say that due to customer service, not simply due to low stock. Try calling them. Just try. There management during this time can't even be classified as sub-par. Place an order, be given a delivery time. Call just to check on it or verify it the date. Let me know if you ever reach an actual person. It is absolutely ridiculous. I get low stock. Although, it really should be improving at this point (every store around here such as Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Tuesday Mornings, etc that had low stock issues before are near fully stocked). During all the closures, I shopped near exclusively online for awhile. Customer service has been top notch *Every* time with the exception of IKEA. They are a nightmare to deal with. In person, they are fine. But not for anything beyond that. Most companies are so thankful for your continued business during this time. IKEA doesn't seem to really care and that's a shame. I will still shop in their store in the future but never online again unless they can improve their customer service front and pick up the phone line, return emails, etc....See MoreIkea Pax doors- need good photos
Comments (8)I live 136 miles from my closest IKEA but before I place an order for anything I drive and take a look & take pictures. Even as a designer my ideas and perceptions change after a visit to IKEA. I take the photos to refresh my memory of what I have seen and I expect to spend hours looking and kicking the tires on items. I come prepared with a list of items I want to specifically select. You have the option to place your order while you are there and have everything delivered to your home another day for a fairly reasonable price, and be advised that there are more products at IKEA than they show you in the online catalog. PAX has been around since day one of IKEA in the US and I find it a great product. If I was going to use PAX for an everyday closet I might consider a more substantial door Every case good from IKEA is made the same on the interior. Millions have IKEA kitchen like myself with no issues....See MoreBecky
