    Interesting but now the weight of the dresser is being held up by 4 small leg point instead of the entire frame bearing the weigh. Wonder if this is going to pose a structural engineering issue in the future.

    Thanks for this video. I’m planning on putting wheels on a Malm dresser and will use the information from this video to construct the supports for the wheels. I looked and no one has addressed adding wheels to IKEA furniture, yet IKEA sells wheels for furniture in the store… although I’m planning on getting a more heavy duty castor for this dresser. By the time my stuff is put in the dresser, it weighs so much that I can’t budge it… thus, the need for wheels. Thanks again, Tiffany… you explained the process so clearly and completely that I have the confidence to proceed.

    Legend! Thanks for posting this great video, I really appreciated that you showed all the steps and didn’t skip over the small but important stuff like some DIY videos. I want to add some castors to a 6 drawer MALM to bring it up closer to kitchen bench height for a breakfast nook. How sturdy does it feel nice tall legs? Do you think I’d need extra reinforcement for castors? I won’t be moving it often, just for occasional restyling. Although I’m reconsidering because the scandi style legs you put on are very cute!

    Hey, I don’t remember that. But measure the wood where that screw will be going through. Your screw should be about an half inch longer to catch the wood. But not too much longer where it’ll go through the dresser on the other side, then you would be able to see the screw. I hope that makes sense.
