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."

Amazing Wardrobe!Anonymous reviewerAmazing wardrobe and such a great price! Love that you can build your own with so many different pieces/colours. Definitely recommend!
Wrong Hinges!Anonymous reviewerDuring my purchases online, these hinges came up when I went to my shopping basket as a "You might also like" so I assumed they were the correct hinges for my Besta products.
So, they didn't fit and I had to find the correct ones to order.
Why bring up those hinges?
We've always purchased IKEA furniture and the hinges have always been fine so once I get the correct ones, it's good to go!
Quality product Anonymous reviewerFit for purpose string quality product
Good hingeAnonymous reviewerDoes the job for a good price
only 1 per pack!Anonymous reviewerdisappointed as i have been left short of hinges... the product data sheet clerly shown 2x hinges but only 1x arrived. they state that item is 'per pack' but it should say 'per item'
Very tricky to install, but great once fittedAnonymous reviewerI used these for the platsa wardrobe system, but my tip is not to follow the guide that says to install them onto the door first and then the frame second
The easiest part is the two screws that go onto the door panel, the really tricky one is the two screws that screw into the frame side so do this first! Because of the way the screw is pre-attached to the metal for the frame-side of the hinge, you need to screw a bit of the top screw, then a bit of the bottom screw, top again etc until its mounted properly. Otherwise theres too much pressure on the opposite side's screw which will make it very difficult to screw in.
Even with this tip, it still requires quite a bit of torque on your screwdriver to get them driven into the frame! Which is why its much easier doing frame screws first
Otherwise, great hinge with plenty of adjustment options
Does what it says on the tin!Anonymous reviewerReally good fit at a very reasonable price
DifficultAnonymous reviewerSimilar to previous reviews, we are also finding it very difficult to crew this in. The fat screw does not go into the small holes of the top part of a SMASTAD pull-out storage unit. Any solution?
The Worst!Anonymous reviewerBought 11 hinges and not a single one of them screw in, even with a power drill. Now I have a half built wardrobe with no doors
SparesAnonymous reviewerGreat
Standard size - easy! Anonymous reviewerI moved in to a house where one hinge was missing from a kitchen cabinet. This was an easy fix because it was a standard size. Easy to fit, adjustable. Perfection.
Good product Anonymous reviewerGood product easy to use
Good Material and Value forAnonymous reviewerGood Material and Value for Money
Description uses the plural "hinges" but it contains only one hingeAnonymous reviewerI added this from a door listing. Since the description says "hinges" I thought nothing of it and just added one per door as recommended on the door listing.
Now I'm down for extra delivery charges and a delay in finishing my project.
Hinge not hinges!Anonymous reviewerBeware....only one hinge per pack.
Described as "Hinges" plural.....but actually "Hinge"
Slowed construction down having to order more, and pay delivery - again.
Best of the bunchAnonymous reviewerEasy to fit and adjust. Perfect.
Looks good but I amAnonymous reviewerLooks good but I am still yet to use it as I am waiting for the rest of my wardrobe! Ikea do better

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.
