Tools Needed
- IKEA Allen key (included)
- Phillips screwdriver
- Rubber mallet
- Second person recommended
Parts Checklist
- 2 side panels
- Top panel
- Back panel
- 6 drawer fronts + 6 drawer boxes
- Hardware bag (cam locks, dowels, screws)
- Anti-tip wall-anchor bracket
Critical Steps
- Attach the anti-tip strap to the wall before loading drawers with anything heavy.
- Cam locks click when fully seated — don't force past that point.
- Drawer runners are left/right specific — check the markings before installing.
Pro Tips
- Particleboard/veneer construction — do not overtighten cam locks or drawer-runner screws, they strip easily.
- Always install the anti-tip wall-anchor strap; MALM has a documented tip-over safety history.
