Perfect for College roomCrystalEasy to put together - sturdy - fits nicely in my college students apartment5
Good for a child's roomKennethThe quality and new drawer slide system are good. Took a bit of effort to build than other Ikea pieces. Much smaller than the Malm dresser it replaces. Would be good for a kids room.3
Broke 2 days after assemblyTraceyDon’t waste your $. It broke almost immediately after assembly and now I have to figure out how to return a fully assembled dresser on my own. Regrets 1
okAmyI had the malm and i LOVED it. i bought this since they don’t make the malm anymore. it was very easy to put together by myself (mid 30/female) and all of the pieces were there. i’m just very disappointed the drawers are so small, they barely fit anything. 3
Good 4 Drawer DresserTaviaDresser went together well and will be a good 4 drawer dresser.4
Great product ZulemaPerfect size 5
Do not buy!! AnnieI think all of the positive reviews must be fake.. these drawers are not worth the money or time at all and I wish I had listened to the negative reviews before buying. The drawers are not stable at all and barely pull out, and assembly was a nightmare. 1
Great!JanelleReally loved the turn out of this product. Although I found it hard to assemble using the instructions, opt to YouTube for faster less hectic guide.5
I guess -___-DenasiaI’m SOOOOO UPSET IKEA REPLACED MALM WITH THIS PRODUCT. THE ASSEMBLY PROCESS IS MUCH MORE COMPLICATED WITH SO MANY SMALL PIECES. The instructions weren’t as clear as they could’ve been. I DISLIKE NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN MULTIPLE DRAWERS AT A TIME. ALSO THE DRAWERS ARE RESTRICTED WHEN OPENING, like you can’t see your clothes in the BACK 3
closest substitute to MALM EllaThis is an ok dresser and certainly felt the sturdiest of all dressers on display at the store and closest to a MALM dresser. I purchased it for my teen's clothing. I wouldn't put heavy things in it. I am a female in my late 40s and had no issues assembling this dresser by myself following pictures-only instructions provided, given I have assembled only one IKEA dresser in the past. I didn't encounter any defective or missing parts and this dresser came together perfectly. There is a metal bar running horizontally from one side wall to another I guess for stability reinforcement and this bar is kind of annoying and gets in the way if the drawer is full to the top. Due to a built- in anti-tipping safety mechanism you can't open more than one drawer at a time unless you attach this dresser to a wall. I see many negative reviews about this feature but honestly it works great for us as we don't have a need to open more than one drawer at the time anyway. 4
Perfect sizeJanicePretty easy assembly. Looks just like photo. Love the ‘no handles’ look. Great buy. Very happy with it.5
Unclear instructions long building time D'ArcelHonestly, the instructions it came with was a joke. Not clear at all and no descriptions just pictures. I had to find a video on YouTube to figure out how to put this dresser together which took me 5 hours to complete. Don’t like that you can only open one drawer at a time. Too many ways it can break if you’re forgetful . 2
Horrible product and horrible service!! Don’t buy this unless you are plying it to the wall.HeatherWe built this exactly as described, except we didn’t bolt it to the wall. The drawers are completely UNUSABLE without bolting this dresser to the wall. I called, waited on hold 30 minutes, was very polite. The woman understood my concern, but needed to check with someone on why it wouldn’t work. Her line disconnected while she had me on hold after another 10 minutes!!!! No one told us this wouldn’t work if not bolted to the wall. They had us sign a waiver, but I understood that meant it’s safer with children to bolt this to the wall, not it won’t work if not bolted to the wall. Now I have to drive 90 minutes to return it??? That’s 5 hours to build it, 40 minutes on hold on the phone, then 3 hours there and back to return it?! I’m REALLY ANGRY and will never buy a dresser from Ikea again. 1
Great quality for the price! TierraI’ve had my dresser set up for about a week and so far so good! I really like the safety feature on the drawers. The dresser seems very durable and will last awhile. I was hesitant to purchase at first but I’m so happy I did. Purchased the 6 drawer version of this one also. I’m satisfied with both items. 5
New version of Malm dresserEvaThis looks like the newer improved safety version of the Malm. Much smaller than the Malm was. Security feature doesn’t allow to open multiple drawers at the same time, so the furniture won’t fall over. Very stable even without anchoring to the wall. But I spent good 2 hours if not more to put it together. Overall 4 stars due to size, drawers are narrower. 4
5 drawer slim chestKarenNice style, pretty, but poor quality. Drawers do not pull out smoothly and material seems flimsy. I have purchased other dressers from IKEA and they have been of better quality. I would not recommend.3
Great price!CristobalI wanted to update my previous dressers. Loving the color and quality. Wish they were a bit wider.4
Nice and safe Anonymous reviewerWidth of this chest is a few inches shorter and more convenient than Malm. 5
Took 5 Hours to Assemble But it Saved MoneyRichardRecently we bought the storklinta 4 drawer dresser. It took 5 hours to assemble but we saved probably $300. Packages fit into our car. Many furniture stores wanted charge a lot for delivery and said there were long wait times. We recommend it.4
Not Square. Not Even Close. TeriI assembled the cabinet as instructed, but the parts on one side seemed a bit misaligned. I went to slide in the rough particle board back pieces and they kept getting stuck. After reslotting them several times, I realized that one corner of the left panel is warped outward, meaning the back is never going to stay on properly and the bottom drawer will always be misaligned. Considering how easily triggered the anti-tip mechanism is, I don't want to build it any further just to have it lock up in 6 months because the bottom drawer doesn't work.
The build quality of this thing is garbage. Plastic cams are awful and the veneer is so thin it will scratch off if you sneeze on it. The metal "support rail" that's supposed to help this thing be square is pathetically useless. The bottom is unfinished, so even though there are some snap-in plastic feet, moving it on carpet without putting sliders underneath risks ripping off chunks of particle board. Save your money and time and skip this.1
