Hello everyone, I recently assembled a Malm bedside table from Ikea, and although I tightened all the screws, the piece of furniture still wobbles slightly when shaken. I followed the instructions carefully and double-checked the fasteners—there are no loose bolts or anything similar. However, the connection doesn’t feel stable enough, especially from the side, where the bedside table feels unstable. Does anyone have an idea what might cause this and how to permanently fix the wobbling after assembly? Are there any special tips or suitable tools that can improve the stability?
Update from me: I have now completely disassembled the joints, checked the dowels, and glued them in with some wood glue. Then I carefully and evenly tightened everything. Additionally, I slightly adjusted the furniture feet and leveled the bedside table.
The wobbling is now significantly reduced, and the piece of furniture stands very stable. Thanks again for all the advice, especially the tip about the wood glue, which was crucial.
For anyone experiencing similar problems: Check the back panel and take your time tightening the screws – a careful and even approach pays off!
