Hello everyone,
I am planning to assemble several PLATSA units from IKEA and am looking into the question: Which types of screws used in IKEA PLATSA are particularly durable and reliable?
I am especially interested in whether there are differences in the quality of screws used for connecting cam locks, metal screws, or wood screws, for example.
Which screws hold up best under stress, especially considering frequent rearranging or minor changes to the configuration?
Do you have experience with specific screw types that are especially robust, or perhaps tips on which screws might be worth replacing with better alternatives?
Thank you very much for your detailed answers and suggestions!

Metal screws are the most durable. Wood screws should be used sparingly and carefully.That confirms my assumption, thank you very much.
I am also interested to know if there are differences within the types of metal screws used in IKEA Platsa, such as size variations or different material qualities that affect long-term stability? Or are all 5.8 or 6.8 screws generally comparable?
And one more question for clarity: Are stainless steel screws actually used, or is that completely ruled out?
If yes, does replacing the screws supplied by IKEA with stainless steel versions during assembly really make sense, or is it rather an unnecessary measure?
