Hello everyone,

I would like to ask a more detailed question that might be relevant to some of you. My Malm dresser has started to show several issues, both with stability and the drawer mechanisms. I feel that the wood is starting to give way and the drawers are no longer sliding properly – a common problem with older models or frequent use.

So my question is:

Is there an alternative to the Malm dresser for issues related to durability and mechanics, specifically from manufacturers or models that are made with higher quality but without being too expensive? I would like to know if there are furniture options similar in size and appearance but offering better long-term quality, perhaps with sturdier drawer guides and more durable materials.

I’m very interested in your experiences and recommendations, including any tips on what to look for when buying a dresser intended for long-term use that won’t wear out or cause problems after a short time.

Thank you in advance!

Make sure the dresser is firmly screwed together and not just assembled with dowels.

Exactly, this can’t be stressed enough. I once had a dresser that was only put together with dowels – and before I knew it, after just six months, it almost completely fell apart.

Having a dresser that isn’t an eyesore in your home but lasts over time is invaluable, especially if you don’t want to keep buying new furniture all the time.

Personally, I prefer dressers with soft-close drawers – they basically eliminate the need to slam drawers shut and protect the materials.

If you can find an alternative, try a model with a solid wood frame plus metal drawer slides; in the long run, it will save you a lot of trouble and annoying repairs. Good luck!
