Hello everyone,
I recently bought an Ikea Besta sideboard and unfortunately noticed that the surfaces are quite prone to scratching. Since I value durable furniture, I’m wondering: How can I protect the scratch-sensitive surfaces of Ikea BESTA without negatively affecting their look or feel? I’m especially interested in which materials or methods work best to prevent small scratches and extend the lifespan of the furniture surface. Should special care products be used, which protective films are recommended, or are there proven DIY solutions? I look forward to your tips and experiences!

I’ve had good results using a clear laminate film. The film is almost invisible, feels nice to the touch, and provides solid protection. Just cut it to size and smooth it out with a squeegee—done!
I encourage you to give it a try because it really helps keep the furniture looking fresh and new.
And if a scratch does appear—no worries! Light scratches can be carefully polished out using fine abrasive paste (like those used for cars). Just go for it!
