How to Build the Malm 6 Drawer Dresser

The IKEA Malm 6 drawer dresser is the perfect choice for your next home improvement project. It’s inexpensive, assembles in minutes, and is easily spruced up with a coat of paint and some clever hardware. You might want to take a look at the MALM FAQ for more details.

While the Malm 6 drawer dresser is an impressive piece of furniture, you might be looking for a little more finesse in your decorating scheme. One trick is to connect two matching Malm dressers with a little plywood magic. This will allow you to slap on a few extra drawers, or just create a big vanity to boot. A bonus is that you’ll have plenty of room for storing all your clothes.

There are several IKEA Malm 6 drawer dresser hacks to try out. Among them are the aforementioned wood slats and plywood, the aforementioned plywood to Malm dresser match, and the aforementioned plywood to Malm dresser connecter. To the latter, you’ll want to follow the instructions as closely as possible and be patient enough to wait for the glue to set.

You might want to give your new dresser a rest for a while, though. Take a walk around your neighborhood and you’re sure to see someone who has repurposed a Malm to something far more valuable. If the task isn’t your cup of tea, consider hiring a professional to handle the job for you.
