Are there different types of wood used in Ikea Platsa?
I have recently started to look more closely into Ikea’s Platsa systems, mainly because I’m searching for flexible and functional closet solutions for several rooms. I noticed that Ikea often uses various types of wood or wood-based materials for other furniture pieces: solid wood, veneered particleboard, or MDF in different qualities.
Now I specifically wonder if this is the case with Platsa as well, or if only one particular material is used throughout. I mainly need this information to better assess durability, appearance, and weight, as well as whether this affects maintenance or handling.
Has anyone gained more detailed insights or experience regarding the types of wood or wood-based materials Ikea uses in the Platsa system? Are there differences between the various components (e.g., carcasses, fronts, or shelves)?
Any information on surface treatment or sustainability would also be appreciated if anyone has knowledge about that.

Thanks in advance for the clear statements.
A quick question to clarify:
Are there quality differences in the MDF and chipboard panels from Platsa that end consumers can see or assess? For example, differences in density, surface quality, or stability?
I understand that these are probably standardized at Ikea, but perhaps there are subtle variations depending on price or specific models?

Of course, there can be slight variations between production batches, but everything stays within standard tolerances to ensure compatibility and durability.
Visual differences only occur due to surface finishes, such as matte or glossy fronts, not in the actual material core.
