Hello everyone, I am currently planning to assemble an IKEA Platsa wardrobe and want to make sure I have all the essential tools ready before I start. The IKEA instructions are quite clear, but I have often read that certain tools are really necessary to ensure everything fits properly and no parts get damaged. I am especially interested in which tools you consider absolutely essential for assembling the Platsa – starting from drills, cordless screwdrivers, screwdrivers, spirit levels, or even special accessories like wall plugs or a hammer. Are there tools you find absolutely indispensable without which the assembly unnecessarily drags on? What about the quality of the tools—do I need to pay special attention to anything there? I look forward to your experiences so I can get off to a good start!
Good morning everyone! 🙂 I’m just jumping in quickly! Assembling Platsa is really enjoyable when you have the right mix of tools. Personally, I love my old cordless drill, which isn’t the newest but luckily has an adjustable torque setting. This lets you screw in pieces calmly without worrying about damaging anything. A hammer? Sure, that’s useful. But I think a good spirit level is even more important. Imagine the unit standing crooked in the room – nobody wants that! In the end, it also makes sense to have a tape measure on hand, since even with Ikea, not everything is always perfect. And because assembly and disassembly can happen, I always keep a small box with Phillips and flathead screwdrivers ready. That way, putting together Platsa is easy! Good luck and have fun building – the unit can look really great!
