Good morning everyone,

Some time ago, I bought a few pieces of furniture from the Malm series by Ikea and I’m quite unsure about how to prevent scratches in the long term. Especially during everyday use, when you place or move things on the surfaces daily, they seem very sensitive.

I’m particularly interested in which preventive measures are truly effective without limiting usage — for example, surface protectors, special care products, or specific rules for handling.

Also, does anyone have experience with certain protective films or mats that can effectively protect the furniture from scratches without making it look odd afterwards?

Thanks in advance for your tips and advice!

Quick tip: Avoid placing sharp or hard objects directly on surfaces; always put something underneath. This is the most important thing.
