Hello,
in the bath niche (actually reserved for a washing machine) I want to place a cabinet with a door instead for my 3 laundry baskets. It should be sturdy and not taller than 160, width 60 and depth up to 60 cm.
What are your experiences with Platsa, is it too unstable with full laundry baskets? The Metod refrigerator cabinet would have the perfect dimensions, but there is no nice finish for the top of the cabinet. Allegedly only the kitchen feet fit underneath.

Does anyone have a solution and experience with the load capacity of Platsa? The full laundry baskets are heavy too. I am grateful for any idea. But it should be something I can buy ready-made. Unfortunately, I haven’t found anything with other sellers either.

Thanks for your help and effort. Regards Dani

I don't have the installation manual from Platsa in front of me right now, but aren't both supposed to be attached to the wall? I wouldn't worry about that then.

Thank you for your reply. Some say the bottoms of Platsa are like cardboard. Unfortunately, I cannot see them on site.

Ah, ok. I haven’t tested that yet. So far, I’ve only looked at them in the furniture store, but I didn’t pay specific attention to the floors there.
Metod is definitely good in that regard, so I wouldn’t worry about it.
What do you mean by no nice finish on top? Don’t you like the surface? As far as I know, you can use a cover board (matching the front) for that.

Exactly as a top finish there should be a panel on it, but not a countertop. Rather it should look like a normal cabinet, since it can be seen from above. I hope this is understandable. I haven’t found a finish. But I’m not an expert in these things. If there is something like that, it would be perfect.

As I said, there are so-called cover pages for that. I am not allowed to link here, but you can search for it. So Metod cover page if you have already chosen a front, you can use the name of the front + cover page...
