Hello everyone, I am planning to make my Ikea Platsa system more flexible by considering whether the individual furniture modules can be mounted on casters. My question is: Are there ways to convert Ikea PLATSA furniture to make it mobile by installing casters? It is important to me that stability and functionality are maintained. Do you have any experience with this, or do you know if there are special caster models or mounting kits that are well compatible? Thanks in advance for your insights and tips.

Thanks for this detailed answer! In your opinion, what would be the best way to reinforce the base plate without significantly changing the visual appearance of the PLATSA furniture? Are there any recommended materials or methods for this?

I used plywood. It was simple, barely visible, and very sturdy. Alternatively, metal brackets inside can help if you can screw from the inside.

I have already installed rollers on Platsa several times. Important: The rollers should be lockable and mounted with sturdy fasteners. This extends the lifespan and provides greater safety, especially for heavier modules.
