Three friends from the Ruhr region who value design, quality and individuality. We focus on craftsmanship and durable solutions instead of disposable goods.

To individually complement your IKEA PAX and give it the look of a true built-in wardrobe, we offer three specialized product categories. The right solution for you depends on your existing PAX height and the respective ceiling height:

1. Standard PAX Heights: Custom-fit fronts and additions for the classic cabinet dimensions.

2. Ceiling-high doors, side panels, and wall fillers made to measure: Ideal for extending the cabinet seamlessly to the ceiling and elegantly closing gaps to the wall.

3. Custom-made top cabinet: The perfect extension to create additional storage space above the PAX cabinet and make optimal use of the space up to the ceiling.

Yes, we have a showroom in Düsseldorf at Hohe Str. 47, 40213 Düsseldorf. If you would like to visit, please contact us in advance to schedule an appointment.

Yes, color samples are always available and free – you only pay for shipping. This way, you can calmly choose the right finish and color.

The IKEA PAX planner helps you with the basic configuration. We go further: Select Living transforms it into a tailor-made solution with style, color, and individuality.

Yes – all parts fit the IKEA PAX system exactly, whether new or an older model.

For the top cabinet, a minimum height of 30 cm and a maximum height of 130 cm are possible. This solution is particularly well-suited for ceiling heights above 280 cm, but can also be used flexibly in rooms with lower ceilings.

Ceiling-high doors are the right choice for you if your ceiling height is up to approx. 277 cm and you prefer a continuous look without a visible top cabinet, so that the cabinet finishes flush with the ceiling like a custom-made wall.

Floor-to-ceiling doors, exterior panels, and custom wall panels can be individually manufactured with an extended length of up to 41 cm beyond the actual PAX frame.
For a 201 cm high PAX, heights from 201 cm up to a maximum of 241 cm are possible, while for the 236 cm high PAX, you can choose a continuous height from 236 cm up to a maximum of 277 cm to perfectly fill the space to the ceiling.

To determine your final desired height, you should always measure the exact ceiling height and subtract a safety clearance of 2 cm.

No, we do not carry glass doors in our product range. We do not offer them.

No, we do not manufacture mirrored doors. This option is not available from us.

Yes, we also manufacture doors for sloped ceilings. It is important that 75 cm or 100 cm wide carcasses are not used in the sloped area, as each door must be planned individually. To ensure smooth opening, the hinge must always be mounted on the side opposite the slope. Otherwise, since the door is cut at an angle at the top, it would catch or get stuck on the slope when opening. So, if your sloped ceiling descends to the left, the hinge must be on the right – and vice versa.

You can order our exterior sides or wall panels directly with suitable cutouts for your baseboards. For exterior sides, we make them 3 cm deeper to accommodate the corresponding cut-out at the bottom. For wall panels, the cutout is simply milled directly into the width of the panel you choose. For measurements, please send us an email with your order number to hey@select-living.de

If you have stucco on the ceiling, we can plan the fronts so that they simply end just before the stucco. This ensures that the doors can still be opened easily without colliding with the decorative elements on the ceiling.

For the 75 cm wide PAX cabinet, we have developed special 37.5 cm wide doors. This allows for a symmetrical division of the doors in the middle, even with this size.

The matching color to IKEA standard matte white is Aurora Pure Cloud.

Unfortunately, this is not possible. Since the rail system for the sliding doors is mounted above the PAX frame, it blocks the space for a top cabinet.

If you select the plinth cut-out option, the standard milling dimension will be 65 x 20 mm.

Yes, we offer Besta fronts in both our "Pure" and "Signature" collections, as well as in any other desired RAL color. Since this is a special option, please send your individual request for a quote directly by email to marco@select-living.de.

Yes, we can prepare the handle drillings for you. The cost for this is 15 Euros per handle/door. To ensure we have the exact drilling distances, you would need to send us one of your handles beforehand.

Yes. Our fronts fit perfectly over your existing IKEA PAX cabinet. We offer special PAX doors that fit flush with the cabinet—both in the standard heights of 201 cm and 236 cm, and custom-made to fit ceiling height. This creates the look of a true built-in wardrobe, with no gaps or visible transitions.

Our current delivery time is approximately 4–6 weeks, including production in our carpentry workshop.

Carefully measure all relevant dimensions (width, height, depth, and recess if applicable) and allow for approximately 2 cm of clearance for ceiling-high doors and the top cabinet. If you are unsure, we will be happy to assist you by phone or email. You can find all further information and detailed explanations with the respective products.

We currently deliver to Belgium, Germany, Denmark, France, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Switzerland, Slovakia, Slovenia, the Czech Republic and Hungary.

Yes – in principle, to almost every EU country. Countries not on the list must be coordinated individually with our logistics partner, as each country has its own regulations. Please feel free to contact us.

Our prices in the shop for Switzerland & Liechtenstein are displayed without VAT – there are no additional shipping costs beyond those indicated in the shop.
Upon import, Switzerland & Liechtenstein levy VAT and a flat fee for customs clearance. The shipping company handles the customs process and will contact you for payment.

Usually 4–6 weeks after ordering. For self-pickup in Gelsenkirchen, orders are often ready in about 14 days.

We offer two delivery options:

Standard curbside delivery – your order will be securely packaged and delivered to your property.

Two-person handling to your desired location – the shipping company will deliver your order directly to the desired location. Ideal for larger or heavier orders. (Germany only)

Shipping costs are automatically calculated in your shopping cart based on the total weight of your order.

No – our customers take the measurements themselves. If you need assistance or are unsure, just contact us. We'll be happy to help you by phone or email.

Yes – however, assembly is simple and well-thought-out. You will receive detailed assembly instructions and videos. If you prefer to outsource the assembly, you can find suitable fitters via TaskRabbit or MyHammer.

Assembly instructions and videos can be found under the tab: Assembly Aid

The top cabinet is simply placed on top of the PAX frame and secured with four screws.

Wall panels are installed using a plug-in system with dowels and a mounting rail.

Installation process:

1. A mounting rail is screwed to the PAX.

2. The wall panel is plugged onto this rail.

3. The panel is securely seated but can be removed again if necessary.


Advantage:
The wall panel can be removed in an emergency, e.g., to access a fuse box, a power outlet, or cables behind it.

The solution is clean, flexible, and reversible.

You attach the exterior part to the PAX frame, 21 mm from the front edge, so that it is flush with the fronts, and then screw it together from the inside of the cabinet with a total of 8 screws to form a stable unit.

The doors are mounted to the PAX carcass as usual, but you absolutely must use the hinges we ordered. First, you mount these hinges to the carcass, then hang the doors and adjust them accordingly. After your order, you will receive detailed assembly instructions; you can also find all instructions online at https://select-living.de/pages/aufbau.

No, our doors are not compatible with standard IKEA hinges. The main reason for this is the weight: while a conventional IKEA door weighs about 3–5 kg, our fronts weigh 17 kg and upwards. Since IKEA hinges are not designed for this load, we cannot guarantee long-term stability and a perfect fit with them. To ensure our quality standards, we offer special premium hinges that are perfectly matched to the weight of our doors.

Yes, that is possible. Select Living uses a special, flat hinge for this purpose, which ensures the functionality of the bottom drawer. However, instead of the regular 4-hinge set, a special "3+1" set must be used, consisting of three standard Blum hinges and this one special hinge.

Yes, if you order exterior panels or wall claddings from us, the appropriate screws for installation are always included directly in the delivery.

The exact position of the hinges varies depending on the IKEA cabinet you are using and the type of door chosen. Here are the specific hole positions for the hinges (counted from the respective edge):

For the 236 cm PAX cabinet:

Custom door: from bottom Hinge 1 (Hole 3/4) & Hinge 2 (Hole 32/33); from top Hinge 3 (Hole 16/17) & Hinge 4 (Hole 2/3).

Standard door: from bottom Hinge 1 (Hole 3/4) & Hinge 2 (Hole 32/33); from top Hinge 3 (Hole 30/31) & Hinge 4 (Hole 2/3).

For the 201 cm PAX cabinet:

Custom door: from bottom Hinge 1 (Hole 3/4) & Hinge 2 (Hole 32/33); from top Hinge 3 (Hole 10/11) & Hinge 4 (Hole 2/3).

Standard door: from bottom Hinge 1 (Hole 3/4) & Hinge 2 (Hole 32/33); from top Hinge 3 (Hole 2/3).

Since all our additions, such as doors, side panels, and wall panels, are custom-made for you, they are excluded from exchange and return.

No. We are an independent company, independent of IKEA. We use the PAX system as a base, but develop our own, higher-quality solutions.

In our own carpentry workshop in Gelsenkirchen (Ruhr area). We manufacture locally, sustainably, and with genuine craftsmanship—no mass-produced goods.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Klarna, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay, Union Pay and bank transfer (prepayment).
