MDF rather than particleboard is a genuine step up here -- it is denser and holds a screw properly, so the joints on a 178 cm console stay tight where particleboard would loosen.

| Specification | IKEA PAX Wardrobe Frame with Sliding Doors | Walker Edison 70-Inch Minimalist Wooden TV Stand Console |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ₹49,990 | ₹18,990 |
| Assembly | Required, roughly 3 hours, and genuinely a two-person job | Required, roughly 45 minutes |
| Doors | Sliding, so no swing clearance needed, which matters in small Indian bedrooms | Two sliding barn-style, on a metal track |
| Humidity behaviour | Honeycomb board is more vulnerable to damp than solid particleboard, and cannot be repaired | MDF swells if edges are unsealed and get wet |
| Panel material | Particleboard and honeycomb-structure paper filling, foil finished. Very light for its size, and correspondingly not solid | MDF with a laminate finish. MDF is denser than particleboard and holds screws better, but swells just as badly when wet |
| Weight | 105 kg | 41 kg |
| Weight capacity | Frame roughly 100 kg total; each internal shelf about 20 kg | Up to about 68 kg on top, which covers any television in this catalogue |
| Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty |
| Cable management | not published | Cut-outs in the rear panel |
| Construction | Board frame with honeycomb paper board panels -- this is how it stays light at this size | not published |
| Levelling | Adjustable feet, and the floor must be level for the doors to run true | not published |
| MDF versus particleboard | not published | MDF is denser and takes screws far better, so joints stay tight. Both swell irreversibly with moisture |
| Modularity | Interior fittings sold separately -- the frame ships nearly empty | not published |
| Panel | not published | MDF, laminate faced |
| TV size | not published | Supports up to a 70 inch television |
| Wall fixing | Mandatory. IKEA supplies the bracket and it is not optional on a 236 cm wardrobe | not published |
