Hello everyone, I’m currently facing the challenge of assembling an IKEA Platsa wardrobe as efficiently as possible, even though I’m left-handed. The instructions and most tools seem to be designed primarily for right-handed users, which often leads to awkward movements or makes handling more difficult. I’m especially interested in any tips on how to intentionally adapt the assembly process to make it more ergonomic and time-saving for left-handed people. Are there tricks like installing door hinges, handles, or door swings the other way around? Maybe a method that makes handling screws and tools easier or that left-handed users should prefer when assembling frequently? How do you left-handed people approach building PLATSA wardrobes specifically to avoid unnecessary frustration and mistakes? Looking forward to your experiences and advice!

Are there any tips for installing door swings, hinges, or handles in reverse? Yes, that is possible. The PLATSA allows you to reverse the hinges, so you can decide during installation whether the door opens to the left or right side.
One more tip: plan your work so that you always use your dominant hand to drive the screws. This might feel a bit unusual at first, but it greatly simplifies handling.
