I also would like to know how everyone has reinforced their PAX shelving, as I will be purchasing a PAX system myself, once we move into a new house.
The best reinforcement I could find in my research is a thread from this website

Patriot666 gives a good explanation of how he reinforced his shelves. I plan on doing this to each of my shelves including half shelves I purchase. I dont have much space and want to display as much as I can. Ikea's website says max load for these shelves is 44lbs but once they are reinforced, how much weight do you think they would be able to hold? I read a post where someone stated he had 50-80 lbs on his PAX shelves.
Any other ideas for reinforcement and weight limits (from experience), would be very helpful.
Thanks,

Yeah i read your other post that you showed how you were going to be displaying your statues. I am currently mapping out how to display mine and distribute the weight the best way possible.
Those brackets look pretty heavy duty. Did you get them from Ikea or a hardware store?
That is awesome. I am trying to find those same support pins, but cant find them on the US Amazon. Those are better than anything I have found currently on amazon. I will check a local hardware store as well, once I am ready to build mine. I plan on starting in about a month.
When are you planning to build yours Null?
Null did you get your PAX built and if so what were the measurements on to the holes on the shelves? I have found some similar to the ones you linked, but they are 12mm depth instead of the 10mm ones you linked. is the hole on the shelf large enough to use a 12mm or does it need to be 10mm depth?
thanks
Never mind Null, I didnt look at your details of the PAX diagram. I also found the 10mm (1cm) ones on ebay for anyone else to purchase if you cant purchase through the UK amazon.

yeah really excited I found them. I will be getting them next month when i start building my shelves. I'm really excited to see the brackets you use and did you go with sliding doors or swing doors?
