Hello everyone,
I am planning not to use my IKEA Malm furniture for several months because we are moving soon, and the new place will not be ready until later. My specific question is: How should Malm furniture be stored properly during long periods of non-use to avoid potential damage such as warping, moisture damage, or color changes?
Are there any proven methods regarding the type of storage (standing or lying down), protection against moisture, optimal room temperature, or packaging? I am also interested in whether it is better to disassemble the furniture or store it fully assembled.
I am looking forward to your experiences and tips!

I would also add that when assembling, you should avoid tightening the screws too much if the furniture has been stored for a long time.
The wood may have slightly settled, so it’s better to be cautious.
Additionally, the surface maintenance after storage should be taken into account to prevent it from looking old or dry.
