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.
Perfect where space is limited since the frame is narrow.
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.
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
Top boxesAnonymous reviewerBought to put on top of wardrobes and over bed. Excellent extra space. The suspension rails were quite difficult to level and put up... If your screws/holes went off when drilling there was no easy way to correct... would have been better to have the corner fittings like you get on kitchen units whereby can level, up and down , side to side and forward back from inside the cabinet.
Great modular unitAnonymous reviewerThis is the second set of Platsa I’ve used for my children’s bedrooms. They are so easy to put together and are very sturdy. Fix together well if stacking.
Just wish they came in grey!
Amazing product Anonymous reviewerAmazing so easy to fit together
Quality control?Anonymous reviewerFirst unit was fine. Second one was damaged in 3 places. The outside box was not damaged so this appears to have happened before packing. Damage very noticeable. Too much hassle to send back. Not worth the price.
Easy assembleAnonymous reviewerThis range is so easy to assemble, simply click the parts together but it's amazing how solid the units are when put together!!!
Good and sturdy BUT instructions insufficentAnonymous reviewerThe frames feel very sturdy despite their light weight, and are really easy to put together. The instructions manual, however, is VERY UNCLEAR. We've made a lot of IKEA stuff, and their instructions always show off the variations with interjections of clear images to stop and go to X page or will require X accessory if you are, for example, wall mounting instead of simply securing the frame. In this case, however, there is no indication that the ordinary way of securing one of these frames to a wall is not sufficient for wall mounting off the floor, until the very last page where it shows the bracket required, after having attached pieces not needed. ALL the instructions for wall mounting are with those brackets only, not the frame. Considering these frames are often added to the basket via the on-site designer, customers are unlikely to know about it. Our brackets were at the bottom of our delivery and our discovery was not made until we had already incorrectly mounted the frames.
cheapAnonymous reviewerPlatsa dimensions, needed something to fill the space inside kitchen cabinet. Cheap boards (price and make) could feel the filling inside moving from one side to the other when handle it, don't know how long it will last
Love it !Anonymous reviewerWooow im positively shocked! Such an easy assemble and so sturdy. I'm stunned by the idea of just clicking the walls in. Love it
Holes visibleAnonymous reviewerGood quality, it’s a shame that there are holes visible/with plastic caps when mounting high ie over a bed. I got round this by mounting the tops to the bottom
Great productAnonymous reviewerSo easy to assemble... just pushing all the sides together makes them completely robust..great storage too
perfectAnonymous reviewerperfect for what I had in mind very universal can be used in any room
Various usageAnonymous reviewerGreat to store various items for quick ride up Great with kids

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.
