Hello everyone, I have a quite specific question that’s been on my mind while assembling my new Malm dressers from IKEA: What is the best way to securely attach this piece of furniture, especially to the wall, without visible screws? It’s important to me that the appearance is not disrupted by visible fixings, as the furniture is very simple and modern. I’m looking for methods or special products that allow for a clean, as invisible as possible wall mounting—perhaps there are special anchors, brackets, or tricks using clamp systems? It would also be helpful to know how to securely and evenly install the furniture so it doesn’t shift later on. Does anyone have tips or experience they can share? Thanks in advance!

"Use hidden furniture fasteners." These are attached inside the dresser and engage with the wall bracket.

That sounds exactly like what I’m looking for. Is there a specific term for these or a manufacturer you would recommend? Are they typically IKEA-specific products or rather found at hardware stores? I’m looking forward to any tips, thanks!

Exactly! The "anti-tip device" from IKEA is great! You can find it in the IKEA accessories section, called "furniture safety strap." Easy to install, barely visible, and very secure. I used it to secure my Malm dressers, excellent results! 🙂)

Great, thanks for the tip about the "anti-tip furniture straps"! I’ll check them out and test them at the IKEA store. They seem to offer the best combination of safety and visibility. I’ll keep you updated here on how it goes!

That sounds like a good plan. Safety comes first, especially when children are around. And as Rashadmeo already mentioned, the tilt lock is really practical. Anyone who values their furniture should not do without such small aids. Looking forward to your conclusion!

A quick update from me: I ordered the IKEA furniture safety straps and installed them today. The installation was easy thanks to the instructions, no screws are visible, and the dressers are now much more secure. Many thanks to everyone for the tips and suggestions; they really helped a lot!
