Hello everyone, I have the following question: I own several IKEA Malm furniture pieces that I like visually, but I have noticed that they can seem quite unstable, especially when fixed to the wall or heavily loaded. My specific question is: How can I improve the stability of Malm furniture in a targeted way without affecting the appearance or significantly modifying the pieces? I am mainly looking for a long-term solution that also reduces the load risk or tipping hazard. I look forward to constructive and practical advice!
It is important to secure the furniture to the wall, as this significantly reduces the risk of tipping. To further stabilize the piece, use special metal corner brackets that can be screwed into the inner rear corners. This increases the rigidity of the corners without any visible changes from the outside.

Attaching to the wall significantly reduces the risk of tipping I’ve done that, but the furniture still feels a bit unstable. The idea of using corner brackets sounds interesting, but what is the best way to fix them without damaging the visible MDF surfaces? Does anyone have tips for less noticeable solutions?Sethibaud schrieb:
The idea of using angle brackets sounds interesting, but what is the best way to attach them without causing damage to the visible MDF surfaces? The inside here really rocks! 😉 You can also recess the brackets inward by screwing them onto a small batten, and then attach the batten to the furniture wall. It looks like a kind of concealed support – clever and invisible, almost like a magic trick! 🙂Similar topics
