StorklintaG RonaldThis was the fifth Storklinta we purchased , so we guess we like it!!!5
Malm was way betterAnnaUnlike others I found the assembly easy as always. I had no trouble and it didn’t take any longer than normal ikea stuff for me. BUT the drawers aren’t aligned properly. I just spent however long putting this together and the drawers being off kilter makes it so if I want to put two next to each other it’ll cause problems. The malms seem so much more sturdy and I really loved the wood veneered option. I’m putting together my second on in hopes this was a lemon. If so I’ll update the review. 2
Great chest of drawers and solid!HelenThis is a sturdy, modern chest of drawers. My teen son put it together himself for his new teen room refresh and it took only a couple of hours. It's a sturdy solution and very attractive with plenty of storage and smooth movement of the drawers. 5
Just what I neededValeriePerfect style and size for my needs, drawers easily open and close. Purchased 5 varied sized units for a wall of mounted drawers. Looks great and way more affordable than custom cabinet installation. Had a professional carpenter install everything including wall mounting and cove molding around edges against walls to close gap between furniture and walls.5
Do not bother DI rarely leave bad reviews, but this dresser has been an absolute nightmare. Assembly was difficult due to vague instructions and unlabeled parts, but I managed, with help, to build the base. The real issue came with the drawers: every single one had misaligned holes, causing large gaps, and some parts had screw holes on the wrong side entirely. I could not use the drawers at all. These are clear manufacturing defects. But the worst part? The customer service. I called three times to arrange a return. Each time, I was assured a pickup was scheduled, only to find out on the third call that no pickup had ever been placed. I was lied to, repeatedly. Between the poor quality and the blatantly dishonest customer service, this purchase has caused nothing but stress. Save yourself the frustration don’t buy this dresser. 1
NOTHING LIKE THE ORIGINALNazI was so excited to buy this thinking it was the standard Malm i had bought 3 or so yrs ago. It had deep drawers, tall and very sturdy. But other than the way it looks its nothing like the original!!! The purchase and delivery was smooth, installation was fine but time consuming. It took two of us 3 hours to set it up completely (unattached to the wall). They also added VERY VERY ANNOYING safety feature where u cannot have multiple drawers open at the same time. The drawers feels small and short, the dresser isnt as tall as the previous one. Im so disappointed and sad. If I had not spent hours setting it up I def would have returned it.1
Nice but ...MelThese are really nice They include a feature so that you do not open lots of doors at one time. We were not expecting that since we were thinking we were purchasing the same ones that we did 20 years ago.. You can only open one drawer at a time. And this drawer is 2 inches smaller than the original ones. They are a little difficult to put together at first, but once you get the hang of it, it'll be fine. We love IKEA for their value and their quality. I would buy this again which technically I will be very soon but just know that if you have the originals, this one is 2 inches smaller and the doors cannot open at multiple times. Oh, and the instructions are the worst lol product should be super labeled.4
Gets The Job Done KeighleyThis is the first thing I’ve ever built from Ikea and I must say I didn’t think it would be hard to assemble despite all the reviews. Let me tell you, they were not lien. The instruction manual is almost impossible to understand. Something told me to check YouTube for an assembly video and I found the most perfect, easy to follow tutorial!! It took me 2 hours to put together myself and was super simple. The drawers are spacious and perfect for my daughter. I’m not the biggest fan of the lock feature but it does not bother me. Overall, I’d recommend. 4
Almost a 5BettyI would have given this a 5 but the drawers have a bad way of catching your fingertip sometimes. Be careful of this. Not sure why the design allows this to happen.4
Beautiful dresser but mostly plastic parts and crazy assemblyRachelBeautiful dresser! It looks JUST like the photo & works great but was a BEAST to assemble and the pieces are not great quality.
Looks: The good part. Fit perfectly, looks great, beautiful & sleek & modern.
Assembly: It took my construction-worker boyfriend and me ~3 hours to assemble. The wood parts are NOT clearly labeled, the nuts/bolts were all jumbled together in 2 mixed bags (ALSO not well labeled), and I was very disappointed to see that even the nuts and bolts were majority PLASTIC now!! Plastic washers, plastic pop-in pieces to attach to them..
Quality: I guess you get what you pay for but for this price I expected at least the screws and washers to all be METAL! The drawer bottoms are thin pieces of plywood, and the entire thing is held together with plastic. I've only had it a day so I sure hope it holds up well. The top back of it also has two gaping holes that are apparently to bolt it to the wall, but if you don't want to do that, you're left with a finnicky hole. 4
