Hello everyone, I have a question that has been on my mind for some time regarding my Malm furniture, and I’m hoping for well-informed opinions here in the forum: Why does the glue often come off at the edges of Malm furniture?
I have noticed that specifically at the visible edges, the veneer or laminate tends to peel off, even though the furniture is otherwise in good condition. Could this be due to the quality of the adhesive, or is it more a result of moisture, temperature changes, or mechanical stress?
I would like to understand whether this is a fundamental issue with Malm furniture or if I might be doing something wrong in terms of care or assembly. Thanks in advance for your insights and tips!

If the adhesive peels off at the edges, that is symptomatic of the entire IKEA value chain.That’s an interesting thought. For me, the question is always whether such a problem can be systematically solved through better manufacturing or material choices without causing a price surge.
Perhaps the industry can in the future rely on better-cured adhesives or other methods that last longer without significant additional costs?
