I like how your white setup looks guys but in our office we have oak hardwood floors with dark cherry computer desk so white would look hideous in here, so im going with dark brown but i think it will look nice once i get all of it set up with lights!!

Can someone show me where i can find sliding doors that i can put glass or acrylic on these pax??

I would check your local Craigslist, or the like.

I was fortunate enough to score a PAX wardrobe with sliding doors on the secondary market for $200.

Custom acrylic on the other hand isn't so cheap.

What? Do you realize you got the sliding doors for free? Is there anywhere I could get a set of sliding doors that would work with pax wardrobe? I'm going to get the pax that's 93 inches tall, thanks! I think my hubby and I are going to ikea this weekend to pick up our shelves!

I definitely realize the bargain I received. It's only because of that, that I didn't mind forking out for the custom acrylic panels.

Have you looked locally for a used and complete PAX, or even just the doors?

All i will need is the sliding doors eventually! I'm going this weekend and getting the double pax wardrobe! Only problem is ikea wants almost $400 for sliding doors and I can't pay that it's too much, so I'm only getting shelves for now!! Maybe sometime next year ill purchase doors or find them cheaper?

I Used these but you can only link up 4 on one switch... so I have two switches to light up my 6 display boxes.

Performance wise there just ok, they don't light up the entire box as they're more of a wide spot light but they do light up the statue under them pretty nicely.

I use these ones: http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/pr...trip#/40163844

They are made for the PAX wardrobes, and they give off a warm, even light. Very similar to what you would see in a museum display.

To connect them you would need to purchase these: http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/40119926/ and one of these http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/30121411/

I apologize that they're all from the Canadian store, but you get the idea.
