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 organise the inside with interiors from the HJÄLPA series – and for the exterior there are smart solutions in the LÄTTHET series.
You can easily create a storage solution that fits your needs and your space by combining frames in different heights and depths.
The frame is easy to install by just clicking it together, no tools are needed.
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.
Perfect where space is limited since the frame is narrow.
The storage solution is easy to assemble, disassemble and reassemble if you want to adapt it, bring it with you when you move or pass it on to someone else so it can stay in use much longer.

Good value and easy to use Anonymous reviewerGood value and easy to use
Great size Anonymous reviewerLove the height of the unit due to not being able to reach most other units on IKEA. Spent ages looking online for a solution to a wardrobe problem, due to size of room and allowing for a hidden disability. I came across this unit and it fits perfectly in my room and is at a height I can reach sat down.
It is not too wide when against a wall so won't just out too much, which means more space in the room. The height doesn't disturb any photo frames or TV on the wall, this means I can watch TV and still see the subtitles.
The unit itself can store a lot of boxes, books, dvds, toys or games. You can buy additional shelves, as long as you remember the product number or size of shelf. The unit comes with shelves if you order one of the set ups.
It is very easy to build and doesn't take long.
Wardrobe frame Anonymous reviewerGood wardrobe sturdy went together fairly easy
PlatsaAnonymous reviewerPoor quality. The instructions are terrible, would not recommend this product, do not buy, it’s absolutely terrible
Hollow boards-not as expected for our purposeAnonymous reviewerBe aware that these cabinets are made from light weight hollow boards so you can't modify them. You have to use the fixings and holes provided.
Fits perfectlyAnonymous reviewerWe live in a property with low ceilings. These fit perfectly and can be used as wardrobes for shirts, trousers, skirts etc.
opinionAnonymous reviewervery good
It is not sturdy ans wobbles a lot.Anonymous reviewerThe back panel literally made from "paper". This "paper" doesn't fix the walls of the cabinet properly. That is why this cabinet wobbles a lot. It is absolutely not sturdy and not safe for children. I am very dissappointed with this product.
WardrobesAnonymous reviewerGreat quality and just right for under the eaves in our bedroom
Very stressful to put together,Anonymous reviewerVery stressful to put together, bigger then expected
AwfulAnonymous reviewerPurchased this product with recommended handles and legs, legs don’t fit in screw holes provided. There is no screw holes for handles in doors which means wardrobe is a nightmare to open and with no legs we have to tilt it backwards as doors touch floor so won’t open.
WadrobeAnonymous reviewerSo easy to put together and looks lovely in my grandaughters room.
easy to assembleAnonymous reviewerthis was easy to assemble; it can be put either way up or down. perfect base for a wardrobe for my 3-year-old.
Easy to assemble.Anonymous reviewerEasy to assemble.
Easy to buildAnonymous reviewerNo screwing the frams together it just slots in. Fantabadozy
The feet code was wrong. They don't fit.
Not as expectedAnonymous reviewerNot as expected
Really good!Anonymous reviewerSo easy to put together and fit perfectly for where I wanted it. I loved how easily I was able to do it all myself and how I personalised it to how I wanted it. Really great stuff!
Sturdy and easy to BuildAnonymous reviewerGreat sturdy and easy to build wardrobes. I stacked two 120cm High units together - They were easy to connect. These units are very easy to secure to the wall with the pre drilled holes and spacers. I have an open wardobe that is deep and fits more clothes !! They are better than I expected, very clever design.
Excellent little cupboard.Anonymous reviewerVersatile sturdy little cupboards. Using mine as a larder in the kitchen but will buy a second to use as a wardrobe. Love the click in assembly. So easy. Love my little cupboard but love EVERYTHING Ikea! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Check space to assemble before purchaseAnonymous reviewerThis frame arrived this morning and assembly would have b Joeen easy. The problem has been putting the back panel in place. It needs to be slid along a groove the full length of the wardrobe meaning you need to lay the 180 cm cabinet down with a total clear space of 369 cm to get the back panel in. We do not have any where near that and it has left us very frustrated. Ikea, you promote furnature for small spaces, this design is counterintuitive to that. Product itself is as expected, lightweight honeycomb but looks quite good. I don't think it would be suitable for heavy use but perfect for occasional and light use.

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 constructed board?
We use constructed boards when manufacturing many of our pieces of furniture, such as tables and wardrobes. They are light yet still stable and strong. Each board has a frame made of chipboard, fibreboard or solid wood, while the inside is a honeycomb filling structure made of mostly recycled paper, which is extra durable thanks to its special construction. The board is then covered with a protective paint, foil or veneer depending on the style wanted.
