Hello everyone,
I have noticed that on my new Malm furniture (chest of drawers), several of the furniture panels, meaning the thin particle boards used as the back panel or side coverings, are starting to come loose in multiple places. The material around the edges already appears slightly swollen. The chest is not located in a damp environment, and the usage is normal.
My question: Are there any special repair kits or suitable products that I can use to reattach these furniture panels firmly and neatly? Does anyone have experience with repairs on the MALM series from IKEA, or know of appropriate adhesives or techniques that are reliable and long-lasting?
I appreciate your tips, thank you in advance!

For more severe damage, you can also cut and install a thin back panel made of MDF or plywood as a replacement.
These small repairs significantly extend the lifespan of the furniture!
