Hello everyone, I am planning to purchase furniture from the Ikea Platsa series. I have a fairly specific question: Are there any Ikea Platsa furniture pieces that come with open shelves as standard?

I am imagining using them openly as storage or display space, without doors or drawers in front. It is important for me to know whether there are series components that are explicitly made without covers, or if it is only possible to use individual modules to create an open solution.

Thank you in advance for any experience or factual information!

I especially recommend paying attention to braces or back panels when using them as room dividers, as these can provide additional stability.

Thank you for the tip – that reassures me! Based on that, I will plan to use a combination of open shelves with back panels that also fit visually.

Does anyone know specific Platsa article numbers or model names that are particularly suitable for open shelves? That would make my search easier.

Hello benedikt,

yes, exactly, I can give you a few examples:
- PLATSA carcass 60x42x64 cm (24x17x25 inches) without doors, article number 992.241.86 (open compartment)
- PLATSA carcass 60x42x128 cm (24x17x50 inches), also without doors, article number 502.422.71

These units are particularly suitable as open shelves. You can add shelves to them. For back panels, there are matching variants in white or grey to increase stability while maintaining the open design.

The IKEA catalog clearly shows all combination options and also provides up-to-date availability information.
