Hello everyone,
I have a somewhat specific question about IKEA Malm furniture: Is there any way to purchase or order replacement surfaces from the Malm series separately? Some time ago, I bought a desk from this series, and unfortunately, the desktop already shows visible signs of wear. Replacing the entire top would be ideal, but I haven’t been able to find clear information or offers online.
Does anyone have experience with whether IKEA offers such replacements, or if there are recommended third-party suppliers that provide original or at least well-matching surfaces?
I’m mainly interested in whether spare parts like these are easily available from IKEA, or if you usually have to accept buying the entire piece of furniture anew. Thanks for your insights!

A quick tip: If the surface of the Malm table is worn, a custom-made cover made from painted wood or MDF with a suitable melamine coating is often worthwhile.
The advantage of this is that it is more durable and can be easily replaced. Some suppliers in the furniture accessories sector offer custom-made covers.
According to my research, original replacements from IKEA are generally not available, as IKEA furniture is usually sold as complete units. This is somewhat unfortunate for sustainability, but currently, there seems to be no official option to purchase replacement surfaces for IKEA furniture.

It’s great that we’re having this discussion about IKEA Malm surfaces here! 🙂
Last year, I faced a similar situation and had a thin, custom-made glass top made – it looks fantastic and provides excellent protection.
Absolutely! If the original top is no longer available, I think it’s a good opportunity to create something new and fresh!
Of course, an original part would be nice, but sometimes pragmatism is the better approach. Good luck to everyone dealing with this issue – keep at it!

Maybe it helps to creatively cover up the damage?
