Hello everyone,
I use several models of Malm furniture, mainly dressers and cabinets. I have noticed that some replacement parts tend to break more often than others. Therefore, I am interested in knowing: which Malm replacement parts fail most frequently? I am especially looking for experiences about which components show wear or become defective most quickly with daily use, such as specific drawer slides, inserts, handles, or other elements.
I would find it helpful if you could describe your observations as specifically as possible, including whether the issues are due to stress, installation, or material quality. Maybe you also have tips on how to minimize wear and tear. Thanks in advance for your contributions!

In addition, fasteners such as screws and dowels are sometimes undersized, which can damage the material under repeated stress.
Material-related deformation of the shelves mainly results from the use of particleboard. Moderate loading and regular maintenance of moving parts significantly reduce wear.

the shelves in Malm furniture often cause problemsI agree with that. Especially the load-bearing capacity of the shelves should not be underestimated. They swell very quickly when exposed to moisture, which often leads to breakage.
We frequently receive inquiries about damaged shelves in the workshop. Supporting these panels with additional braces is helpful when the piece of furniture is subjected to higher loads.
Thank you very much for your detailed answers and tips!
In summary, the guide rails or the rollers inside them, screws/handles, and shelves are the most vulnerable parts. Assembly quality and maintenance also have a significant impact on durability.
Does anyone have specific recommendations on the best way to order replacement parts for Malm or to obtain original ones? And are there any particularly recommended alternative accessories that might be more durable? I would appreciate it if we could discuss this further.
