Hello everyone,
I recently assembled an IKEA Platsa wardrobe system and noticed during assembly that some of the pre-drilled holes were incorrectly positioned. This causes the joints not to fit properly or the holes not to align with the dowels. I suspect it might be a manufacturing defect or that I made a mistake during the build.
Has anyone had experience with how to best fix incorrectly placed holes to still ensure the wardrobe is stable? Are there any practical tips to correct or conceal the holes without having to replace the entire panel?
I would be very grateful for advice on how to properly handle PLATSA panels and connectors!

Don’t despair, there’s always a solution! Just take it step by step, and the repair will work out!That may be true, but one should also ask why IKEA can hardly deliver acceptable fit and finish for a product that is supposed to rely on modularity.
If you buy the system in the first place, the manufacturer shouldn’t require “DIY fixes” for every single assembled drawer unit. That ultimately undermines the quality and reliability of the product – and reinforces the impression that budget furniture just has its limitations.
