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.

Reviews
Solid Frame Anonymous reviewerGreat solid frame, should last years. Always happy with IKEA items.
Platsta Anonymous reviewerGreat product would highly recommend
If only more flexibleAnonymous reviewerThis was perfect for the size I wanted to build a unit underneath my stairs. However, I wanted to turn it the other way around which meant there was no predrilled holes for a door, so I had to make my own adjustment to use it
Exactly as expected Anonymous reviewerFantastic price/quality and fit perfectly as an extension of my pre-existing Platsa wardrobe. Easy to assemble
Platsa unitsAnonymous reviewerGreat units easy to make and versatile

AwesomeAnonymous reviewerWe bought 2 wardrobe units, 8 wall cupboards and 2 x 3 drawer units for my daughters bedroom, they are easy to put together and look great and very sturdy. I’m sure we will be buying more in the future
Anonymous reviewerI purchased two of these for the bathroom for my towels and other items ,ideal to keep them tidy . Going to put legs ,door and top to match the bathroom .
Perfect for storing things in a cupboardAnonymous reviewerWe are using these units for storing paperwork, files, books etc. Inside two built-in wardrobes. By using Platsa units of differing size it is possible to have a purpose-built system to your own specification. The units are quite strong so ideal for such storage.
So easy!Anonymous reviewerReally quick and easy to put together and looks great

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."

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.
