Freddy shows how the frames can be arranged vertically, horizontally or like steps, to then be completed with shelves, wire baskets, clothes rail, drawers and doors. "Even the exterior can be used. You can place hooks there or a clothes rail which is fixed between two frames."

Light and easyMelitaVery easy to install. Wasn’t sure about material, but I love how easy and clean it looks,
Sturdy shelvingLinleyI love these shelves. Powdercoated metal is hard wearing and holds a lot of stuff. They are easy to install and move if you change your mind.
Shelves DianneGreat for purpose
Nice finishBernadetteWe looked everywhere for the right sized cabinet and the top was the most important. It’s being used to display our snake enclosure (vivarium). It fits perfectly. Very grateful.

metal shelf. not easy to adjustAntoniaThe shelf fits snugly but is not easy to install or adjust later as the shelf supports are screwed into the side panels.

Disappointed with shelving optionsSamanthaDisappointed to find the shelves are metal - and thin at that! After putting up a pax wardrobe which is strong and sturdy, the quality of the platsa is poor. The underside of shelf is ugly - not flat which is clearly visible in a tall cupboard. Not shown in pictures in catalogue
Was disappointed that the shelfIvyWas disappointed that the shelf was changed from wood to metal.
Would recommend to a friend only because there was not an option for a wooden shelf

Story
The storage that changes with you
Our living space is often limited, and it can be a challenge to find a place for everything. With PLATSA storage system, we wanted to create a simple, changeable storage solution that you can rebuild and add to, build vertically or horizontally, to the side or in between. On top of everything else, the price should be low but the quality should be high. The solution: the right quality in the right place.
"All you need is your hands," says product developer Freddy Kramer while clicking together one PLATSA frame after another. Yes, clicking. The secret is a type of plug called a wedge dowel. Freddy goes on to explain why assembling or taking frames apart easily is an important detail. "People's lives are changing more and more today ─ we move more often, live in smaller spaces and maybe share a home with others at times. That's why our needs don't look the same throughout life."
Take apart and rebuild
Love in a white box
For PLATSA to be truly long-lasting, quality was just as important as flexibility and ease of assembling. But improving quality without adding to the price is not easy. "Right quality in the right place," Freddy says, and opens a cabinet door. "Here on the outside of the door, which you see and touch every day, we've used a matt foil with fine texture, while the inside, which is not as exposed, is coated with a simpler base foil." The PLATSA project took a lot of time and commitment. But it also gave results. "Those empty white boxes for the frames might not look like much at first glance, but they’re actually white boxes filled with love,” Freddy says, smiling.
Material
What is steel?
Steel has unique characteristics when it is stretched and shaped since it remains strong. It provides strength to everything from skyscrapers and cars to bed frames and outdoor furniture. The steel industry is moving in the direction of more energy-efficient production and stronger steel qualities. It doesn’t lose any of its properties when recycled and today steel is one of the most recycled materials in the world.
