Turn An IKEA PAX Into The Ultimate Organizer With Both Drawers And Doors

The IKEA PAX system is a fun way to customize your home's storage for all of your organizational needs. However, one flaw with the PAX system is that you cannot put both a bottom drawer and doors on the cabinet because the door's bottom hinge prevents the drawer from being installed. But, thanks to this hack, that has now changed! Simply replace the bottom two IKEA hinges with a Hettich special ET 582 hinge, and you will be able to install your cabinet drawers and have doors.
