rimz790rimz790

Heys guys, hows it going???

Need your trusted feedback (again) as usual. I am looking ot buy Ikeas Malm 4+2 chest of drawers with extra roomy drawers (which is what im looking for mainly) for £85 to store the kids clothes as we have a (nearly-) newborn, so extra storage is required.

Needed your trusted feedback on Ikeas products in terms of quality, longevity etc.

I havent bought anything from Ikea as yet, as iv only bought items like such from Argos in the past and have been happy sofar. So was wondering if Ikeas products are of the same quality as Argos' or better or worse.

Thanking you guys in advance for your feedback!!!

    A cut above Argos, MFI and Mamas and Papas.

    If you are happy with Argos furniture you will be absolutely blown away with Ikea's quality

    ive got pretty much the malm set (2 chest of draws and wardrobe). its alot better than argos furniture ive owned in the past from what ive found but its all down to how well you put it together. id recommend it

    I love my Ikea flat pack, Fair enough its only the trofast units, but they are solid when built, where as I have learnt my lesson going through so many Argos flat pack stuff :/

    I bought some malm stuff for our daughter's room.

    I was like a dog with 2 willies

    Brilliant, and far superior to any other flat packs. Go for it..

    I have one of these ones from over 2 years ago it's 6 drawers tall as this 4+2 one was available but we felt due to the room it was going into that buying the extra capacity was worth it. I've had a small mini system and old 21inch CRT monitor atop of it for most of that time till about 2 months ago and is used daily, still going strong to this day. A bit of warping on the top but not very noticeable as the unit is reinforced. I would recommend it again if I was to buy another one or someone wanting to buy one.

    I love the malm range. I have had draws for around 6/7 years and they are still in use now!
    Definately worth the money!

    Yep the Malm drawers are especially good, we have two sets of the white ones and was very surprised how strong they seem

    We've had loads of Ikea flat pack stuff (Billy bookcases, Malm drawers, Pax wardrobes, desks) and always been very happy with the quality.

    Got the very same drawer's few months back,easy to assemble & as far as flat pack goes pretty solid too.

    We have 5 sets of Malm drawers. Its much better than others flatpack both quality and ease of build. We did have one piece of wood damaged once and went to store where they gave us the replacement part and an Ikea voucher based on our distance from store.

    Another vote for Malm stuff. We have all their drawers and bed and daughter has drawers too. All have lasted quite a few years and still going very strong. The veneer is very good and doesnt lift at all.

    The only niggle iv got with the argos drawers is the thin bottom piece of nearly every drawer have caved/bent downwards. Hopefully the malm has better solidity in regards to them parts of the drawers.
