ᐅ How can I assemble Malm dressers when space is limited?

Hello everyone,

I am planning to assemble one or more IKEA Malm dressers, but the space in my apartment is quite limited, which makes the assembly more difficult. The dressers are relatively large, and although the instructions are clear, I am worried that I might get confused or damage some parts while putting them together in my small room with very little room to move.

Do you have any tips or strategies on how to best approach assembly when space is very limited? Are there any tricks for partially pre-assembling the dressers or ways to plan the build more cleverly to save space?

I would appreciate any experience or practical advice, especially from those who have assembled Malm dressers in small rooms. Thanks in advance!

I also assembled my Malm dresser in a rather small room – and it went surprisingly well! 🙂

My tip: Read the instructions carefully and take your time assembling the main frame step by step (preferably lying down), then complete the drawers on the floor in front of it.

Watching a larger structure grow step by step is really motivating. Later, you can easily lift everything up and place it where it belongs.

That’s a great idea! Especially if you want to protect the floor, it’s best to put a blanket underneath. This also makes moving it easier and prevents scratches.

Good luck!! You can do it! ?
