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."

Product details
You can easily create a storage solution that fits your needs and your space by combining frames in different heights and depths.
You can easily attach several PLATSA frames to each other using the included clips. They are easy to mount and remove without using tools, and you avoid visible screw holes on the outside.
LÄTTHET legs raise your PLATSA combination from the floor, giving a light airy look and making it easy to clean the floor underneath.
Perfect where space is limited since the frame is narrow.
LÄTTHET series offers more exterior choices to add on to your PLATSA frames.

Great value buyMeiIt's just fit for my little store room in a unit. Makes things tidy and easy to find. It's actually easy to assemble which I didn't expect so. It's sturdy enough, and I hope it can last long!
Great shelf!CorneliaThe perfect shelf for an area inside my wardrobe. Easy to assemble, sturdy and spacious. Will look at buying more in other sizes to maximise wardrobe space.
Nice shelfNatalieI use this shelf in my home office room. Nice deep shelves.
Sturdy enough and easy to assembleImeldaWe got this as a solution to our guest wardrobe. For the price it was great quality and easy to assemble. I also use it to store surplus art supplies and it is sturdy enough for those as well.
Our only issue was some missing parts but it was rectified easily enough with a call and pickup at our local IKEA store.
Maximum of 5 ShelvesJessicaHi Review Reader, last year I purchased 3 of these units as the basis of my families home office space. Unfortunately I've come to learn that you cannot buy singular additional shelves for this particular Platsa unit, and the maximum number provided is 5. You will see, that most Platsa units use HJALPA shelves which contribute to the modular nature of the shelving series. However HJALPA have the suspension pins located on the depth side, while in this Platsa model the pins are located on the width side - meaning that the two shelves are not compatible. After attempting to get help both in-store and over the phone, my efforts were to no avail. To my regret, the only way to acquire additional shelves of this nature is a) wait until the same unit turns up in the as-is section in IKEA itself or b) buy an extra unit, take the shelves out, and throw the rest away. It's disappointing because I thought it would be compatible with the whole Platsa series, including the shelves.
Disappointed due to faultKylieUnfortunately there’s a big rust spot on the side of the shelf. I live 3 hours away from IKEA so returns are not simple at all. It’s going to be a 6 hour round trip just to return it. The shelf itself looks like it’s going to be good. Definitely check for rust spots in the carpark if you live far away!

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.
