| Specification | IKEA PAX Wardrobe Frame with Sliding Doors | ZINUS Jackie 71-Inch Classic Upholstered Sofa |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ₹49,990 | ₹29,990 |
| Assembly | Required, roughly 3 hours, and genuinely a two-person job | Required, roughly 20 minutes -- legs only |
| Humidity behaviour | Honeycomb board is more vulnerable to damp than solid particleboard, and cannot be repaired | Polyester does not absorb moisture the way cotton does, which helps in monsoon |
| Panel material | Particleboard and honeycomb-structure paper filling, foil finished. Very light for its size, and correspondingly not solid | Solid wood frame with foam and polyester upholstery |
| Weight | 105 kg | 34 kg |
| Weight capacity | Frame roughly 100 kg total; each internal shelf about 20 kg | About 250 kg |
| Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty |
| Construction | Board frame with honeycomb paper board panels -- this is how it stays light at this size | not published |
| Cushions | not published | Attached, so they cannot be flipped to even out wear |
| Doors | Sliding, so no swing clearance needed, which matters in small Indian bedrooms | not published |
| Foam | not published | High-density, which resists the flattening that kills cheap sofas |
| Frame | not published | Solid wood, not particleboard, which is what determines whether a sofa survives |
| Levelling | Adjustable feet, and the floor must be level for the doors to run true | not published |
| Modularity | Interior fittings sold separately -- the frame ships nearly empty | not published |
| Seat depth | not published | 56 cm |
| Upholstery | not published | Polyester weave, not removable and not washable |
| Wall fixing | Mandatory. IKEA supplies the bracket and it is not optional on a 236 cm wardrobe | not published |
