Hello everyone, I recently purchased a PLATSA shelving system from IKEA and want to install the drawers properly. My question is: What assembly tips and tricks are there specifically for the PLATSA drawers to ensure they are stable, operate smoothly, and last a long time? I would appreciate advice on tools, important assembly steps, or possible pitfalls. If any of you have personal experiences or recommendations, that would be very helpful, as I want to avoid any mistakes during the installation.

I want to follow up and ask if anyone really has long-term experience with the load capacity of the PLATSA drawers?I have been using my Platsa cabinets for over two years, and I can say: as long as you don’t overload the drawers with heavy items, the system works perfectly! ?
Regarding the torque applied with the screwdriver, I would say less is more. Better to go slowly and tighten again if needed than to apply too much force at once. Otherwise, you risk unpleasant damage.

how to best secure the carcasses of the shelves during assembly by two people to be able to insert the drawers precisely.Good teamwork helps here! One person holds the unit straight while the other screws it together. Occasionally, a small wedge (it can be a piece of cardboard or wood) can help stabilize the carcass.
