PAX Wardrobe - fixing to wall

I originally was going to ask Ikea to put it together but they said that because they weren't insured they would not fix it to the wall. So we attempt it ourself. Kinda of regret it since it taken us four evening and still need to add the lights.

Don't think they or any flat pack company would just come out to fix it against the wall for us.

Interesting. We were told the opposite, when we ordered it we were told that if the company did NOT fix it to the wall then there would be no warranty..

We went for Ikea fitting as previously we went DIY and got a 'friend' to do one and he struggled with it (and eventually charged us more than what Ikea would have.)

Our most recent PAX is the 35 depth and I don't think I would want it freestanding (although we have the taller model which would make it even more unstable).

Has any one got a 35 depth wardrobe? I'm wondering if it is thinner that it is not as stable as the 55 depth PAX.

Can I get wall bracket and screws at Ikea?

We have both versions - a 35cm wardrobe with opening doors and a 55cm deep one with sliding doors.

Whilst the 55cm one is perfectly fine freestanding, the 35cm wardrobes definitely needs attaching to the wall to be properly stable.

Strangely though it didn't come with brackets - the Billy units which do come with them so you you would have thought the Pax units would too - seems to be a bit of an oversight on Ikea's part - particularly in relation to the 35cm deep units.

Anyway, we just went to B&Q and got some small L shaped metal brackets and used them. We used 1 bracket for each 50cm of wardrobe and its solid as a rock - even with the heavy glass opening doors.
