Excellent for the priceJosephSee a dowel? GLUE A DOWEL.
This is the best furniture for the price and if you go slowly and carefully the tolerances are tight. Very solid and tough compared to most other IKEA furniture in this price range.
But! Once you tap in a dowel in any furniture anywhere, the exposed end is NOT an alignment tool, but a decision. If you want to be able to disassemble it later for moving, don't glue it. But it will be wobbly. If you want it to never fall apart and be a monolith, glue the dowels with a drop or two of wood glue. This is woodworking and assembly 101. IKEA should tell you this in the instructions, and it's the #1 reason people think the furniture is cheap and falls apart. Trust me on this - those few drops of glue will make it never come apart without breaking something.5
Great DresserSusanAnd easy for two novices to put together.Drawers close beautifully. It exceeded expectations.5
Perfect Size DresserKateI was hesitant to purchase this because of the drawer-locking function, but it’s actually not that annoying at all! You can have two drawers open side-by-side, just not two drawers in the same column at the same time. It’s a perfect dresser for my toddler’s room after getting rid of the baby dresser. We’ve used it for about a month now and it seems very sturdy and looks great!5
Disappointed AmandaAfter 3 hours putting together. The furniture is scratched. Thought it was. Paint strips but no, actual chip damages. Sad because it is so beautiful but yet now I have a built defective top 😞2
LoveGabrielleI love this so much in my room. Bought the cute lamp on the dresser too. Definitely have more storage now and it seems to be good quality. 5
5 months old and it's a solid dresser JohnPurchased 4 of these and put them against the wall. Gained so much storage and it created a great top for more storage and baskets. First one took 2 hrs the second one even faster and 3rd and fourth were not even 11/2 hours. They have a great safety on the drawers where you can only open one. My wife and I are opening these everyday all day and we are really happy with them. They have a nice clean look to them with no hardware. We would buy them again. Take your time putting it together and follow directions carefully and you will not be disappointed. 5

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
Terrible scratches on face of drawers NateThe deep scratches on the face of the drawers make this so ugly. Terrible quality 1
Pretty good dealKaylaPretty good deal for a dresser of this size and price. Did notice random adhesive on the inside of one of the drawers front panels but it came off for the most part. Interesting safety design with having only one drawer able to open on each side but not entirely inconvenient. In comparison to my MALM chest I will say that there are many similarities and the overall sturdiness is the same. Great new alternative to MALM dressers and chests4

Just buy it SandraYou’re not going to find a better storage option for the price. It isn’t solid wood, but for the value it is great. I have stored everything in my daughter’s nursery and still have some extra space. I also love the safety function that multiple drawers can’t be opened at the same time and it comes with mounting hardware for extra safety. 5
GreatJeseniaIt fit perfect5
Great dresserKevinI picked up two of these and put them side by side along my bedroom wall. The dressers give me generous storage space for my clothes, and the large counter space on top is handy as well. And I think they look great!5
No holes drilledJeffDresser is fine but one of the drawer fronts did not have holes drilled. No convenient way to resolve it other than going to the store for a replacement. 3
Poor Quality - RegretOliviaWithout a doubt the worst purchase I've had from IKEA. The quality sucks, especially with the draws. During the night after we built them 2 of the drawer fronts fell off and the wood is basically disintegrating.
I recommend avoiding buying this if possible.1
Why did they change the color???MarioI purchased the malm bed and the malm three drawers and dont know what to do now that they changed the color1
Do not buy!KaleighTook me forever to build, awful instructions. I’ve had this dresser for 3 months and it’s already falling apart. Save your money1
Horrible quality MelanieI’ve had this IKEA dresser for two years now and three or my drawers do not close all the way and the paint chips off so much. Also I don’t think the price point material matches the quality of this dresser. I wouldn’t recommend this dresser at all!1
Very satisfied! Go ahead and grab it!TierraI love the dresser so far. It was just what I needed. I’ve had it up about a week and I have 0 complaints thus far. I purchased another dresser that had 8 drawers from a different company for about the same price and when I say this one has much better quality, it does! I was hesitant before purchasing it but I’m so glad I did. If you’re thinking about it, do it! I will say it is a bit on the shorter side but if you read the measurements and compare them to your space you can gage how it will fit. I also bought the 4 drawer version of this and it’s slightly taller. The drawer depth for both products are pretty deep and can fit a lot (for my husband and I). Overall, I’m satisfied with my purchases especially for the price. Feel like it’s the best bang for your buck. 5
