Hello everyone, I would like to start a practical discussion: How can I prevent damage when transporting furniture from IKEA’s Malm range?

Specifically, I am interested in the best ways to protect the relatively sensitive surfaces and edges when the furniture is transported in moving boxes or by other means.

It would also be helpful to learn how to store disassembled Malm furniture properly to avoid unexpected problems from damaged parts during reassembly.

I look forward to precise tips and experiences, including recommendations for special packing materials or techniques.

One final recommendation regarding surfaces: If a small blemish occurs despite all precautions, melamine surfaces can sometimes be treated afterwards using special repair kits, which are available from specialized retailers.

This can significantly conceal minor scratches as well.
