IKEA PLATSA System Buying Guide

Storage and Media Solutions

PLATSA frames create a modular system adaptable to various home layouts, including under staircases, around windows, or above doors. Combining PLATSA frames with HJÄLPA and LÄTTHET interiors and exteriors allows for tailored solutions. Pre-designed combinations are also available, which can be customized. The system features easy assembly and disassembly thanks to a wedge dowel fitting, requiring no tools. PLATSA open units are solitary frames with adjustable interiors, designed for minimal assembly time.

Safety Note: PLATSA frames must be attached to a wall. Different wall materials may require different fixing devices, sold separately. For stacked frames, suspension rails are recommended for stability. Frames with a 55 cm depth should not be hung on walls; they must be floor-standing or stacked on another floor-standing frame.

How to Build:

1. Choose Frames: Consider available space and utilize unused areas with different frame sizes.
2. Pick Door Style: Select from various door styles, such as plain white, traditional, or dark grey.
3. Choose Interiors and Exteriors: Plan based on storage needs and add finishing touches like integrated lighting for enhanced functionality.

Sleep and Storage Solutions

The PLATSA bed system integrates sleep and storage, serving as a space-saving solution, room divider, or standalone furniture piece. It can be built upon with 60/120/180 cm high and 40 cm deep PLATSA frames, complemented by LÄTTHET footboard panels and HJÄLPA interiors and doors. The bed frame includes slats, legs, and a top panel. The LÄTTHET footboard panel adds stability and a finished look.

Assembly: The PLATSA bed is designed for quick and easy assembly and disassembly.

Safety: Maximum building height from the floor to the top of the footboard (excluding the top panel) is 220 cm. Avoid drilling into the footboard panel. No-drill hooks can be used for decorative purposes. Maximum load is 6 kg.

How to Build a PLATSA Bed:

1. Bed Frame: Consider storage needs and placement within the room.
2. Choose Frames: Select frames based on the bed's role (e.g., room divider, clothing storage) and desired height.
3. Footboard Panel: Determine the number of 60 cm high panels needed for frame height compatibility.
4. Choose Interiors: Select boxes, inserts, and integrated lighting for organization.
5. Pick Doors/Drawer Fronts: Choose the style for your wardrobe elements.
6. Choose Mattress: Ensure the mattress fits dimensions (120-140 cm wide, 200 cm long).
