Hello everyone, I have a rather specific question that some of you who have Malm furniture from IKEA might have dealt with: How long does the finish on Malm furniture actually last under normal daily use in a living room or bedroom?
I’m not referring to extreme wear, but rather regular use, such as placing clothes on the dressers or using the surfaces for decorative items. I’m especially interested in how durable this finish really is, whether it is prone to scratches, signs of wear, or discoloration, and how long the appearance remains intact.
Many manufacturers rarely provide exact information on the durability of furniture finishes, so I would appreciate hearing firsthand experiences, especially regarding Malm dressers and tables. Thanks in advance for your input!

One last tip: Placing a transparent table protector or felt pads under frequently used items can significantly prolong the finish on Malm furniture.
Additionally, when cleaning, never use microfiber cloths that shed fibers or are abrasive – clean, soft cloths are essential to avoid micro-scratches.
