Hello everyone,
I plan to assemble a Malm furniture piece from Ikea that has always had an issue in my apartment with so-called vibration pulsations—small, unpleasant vibrations or slight movements that make the furniture appear unstable. My main question is: What specific steps or measures do you recommend to assemble Malm furniture so that it is free of pulsations and stable? I am interested both in the situation on uneven floors and possible improvements in connecting the individual parts to completely eliminate vibrations. Which mistakes should I definitely avoid, and are there any tips for tools or materials I could use in addition to the Ikea parts? I would appreciate any advice to ensure the furniture stands completely steady in the end.
Best regards!

Also, I’m considering replacing the usual felt pads with a better option because they tend to slip.I agree with that! Felt pads are soft and protect the floor, but they can wobble if they’re not properly glued. I’ve often used small silicone pads on my Malm dressers; they hold firmly and absorb vibrations quite well. They come in various sizes and are usually self-adhesive.
They’re easy to apply and hardly visible. In a way, they’re the little heroes for vibration-free furniture!
Try a bit of experimenting—maybe a combination of a soft pad plus properly adjusted screws—and you should be on the safe side.
