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."

Not suitable for bathroom cabinets.RichardHinges work well at first however they not suitable for bathroom cabinets as they will rust after 18 months and stop closing.
No-slam doors!BernadetteWe’re using these on the cabinet that is being used to display our snake enclosure (vivarium). The soft closing doors are an added bonus because we don’t want our pet to be startled with an accidental slamming of the doors.
great hingesJenniferbest hinges I have used, haven't fallen apart yet.
Best hingesJenniferEasiest hinges I have ever put on a cupboard. They do not fall apart
Sadly the hinge did notMartinSadly the hinge did not fit
Soft close hingesKaylaNot the ones I needed. It's very hard to find out which hinges are compatible with which doors/bases. They all look the same but aren't. This should be made clearer.
Hinge adjustment is a bitRobertHinge adjustment is a bit fiddly as there are no instructions on what the various adjusting screws do.
its a hinge. it worksJaneas the title
Works beautifullyAmandaSoft close hinges work wonders in stopping my kids slamming their cupboard doors!
Delicate and expensiveBillI have found on installing the hinges that the screws strip the pre drilled holes very easily and don't take any pressure very well (several stripped when I was installing the handles).
Also unlike most of your products the IKEA hinges are very good value at $5 each when the market price for similar brand name products are about half that. Given I need 120 hinges this represents several hundred dollars with the only benefit that they fit the IKEA predrilling

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.
