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."

Very easy and quick to assembleAnonymous reviewerThree came with the platsa frame, Found the whole thing really easy to put together. Different to other ikea furniture to assemble, but still as easy and quick. 3 drawers delivered but going to buy another drawer as I have placed the drawers at the bottom rather than the top which this unit gives you the option. Altogether looks great.
Impossible to assemble Anonymous reviewerThe design of these drawers is terrible and unlike any other similar Ikea product in my 25 years experience of buying Ikea furniture. The sliding clips to attach the drawer fronts to the drawer carcass is so poorly designed and simply does not work as the instructions indicate. Out of the three drawers I purchased for the wardrobe, only one went together correctly. The other two proved impossible and when finally together were not flush and wonky with drawer unit. Whatever was wrong with the tried and tested simple dowel and screw bolt and locking nut design like all similar ikea drawers e.g. the Malm series.
Easy to put together and great sizeAnonymous reviewerI bought three of these drawers as part of a Platsa wardrobe. Found them really easy to assemble and they are really sizable. Have given me a lot of extra space. They look great - and there's a choice of handles, including some that slip on so you don't have to drill into the front if you don't want to. I'm really happy!
Impossible to assemble!Anonymous reviewerI found this drawer super-tricky to assemble. I have assembled lots of other Ikea drawers with ease. Got my sons on board and they couldn’t do it either. Bizarre. Dodgy stock or poor design? Flummoxed.

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.
