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."

SturdyAnonymous reviewerPurchased as old plastic runners have broken (10 years old). Not a perfect fit but sturdy and holding wire baskets perfectly.
Do not fix PAXAnonymous reviewerThese do not fit the PAX wardrobes and are now a waste of money
Works but difficult to change once fittedAnonymous reviewerThese work well and are quite smooth as long as the attached basket has flat rails (unfortunately some of the baskets I used have slightly bent sides, presumably a manufacturing defect, which still works but makes it a bit clunky to open/close). The built-in "dowels" mean you can try positioning it before screwing it in, and also acts as a quick way to make sure the rails are level, since they won't fit at an angle.
Fitting them inside a constructed cabinet is a bit difficult due to the screw at the back, which is only a centemeter or so from the back board. This might be easier with a ratchet. I also had a little difficulty getting the right-hand rails to attach but I suspect this was due to the cabinet having holes drilled in slightly the wrong place rather than the rail being wrong.
Once fitted, the basket is "locked in" using a clip, but as far as I can tell this clip is impossible to remove (at least without breaking it) so changing the layout later isn't really possible.

The complete assembly of the
The complete assembly of the 60x40x60 Platsa with the rails, baskets, shelf, top and feet is very useful to add ground level storage in built in wardrobes with depth less than 500mm. Easy to assemble and looks smart.Anonymous reviewer, Australia

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.
