Posted on Feb 25, 2023I recently purchased this Malm nightstand and I'm having trouble with the drawers not lining up properly. The left drawer is slightly lower than the right one, which makes it difficult to open and close both drawers smoothly.
Is there a way to adjust or fix this issue?

Answered on Feb 27, 2023To adjust the alignment of the drawers on your MALM 2-drawer chest, you can try the following steps:
1. Locate the adjustment screws on the drawer runners. These are typically located on the sides of the drawer frame.
2. Use a screwdriver to loosen the adjustment screws slightly on the drawer that is sitting lower.
3. Gently push or pull the drawer to align it with the other drawer, ensuring both drawers are level.
4. Once the drawers are aligned, tighten the adjustment screws back up to secure the drawer in place.
If the issue persists, you may need to check that the chest itself is level on the floor. Adjusting the leveling feet or placing shims under the chest may help correct any uneven alignment

Posted on Jan 19, 2023I purchased the MALM nightstand and would like to add a crown molding or a decorative trim around the top of the nightstand. What kind of adhesive or fastening system is recommended for this?
Kenzo @ EasyRebuild
Answered on Jan 21, 2023To add a crown molding or decorative trim around the top of the MALM nightstand, I would recommend using a strong adhesive like a construction adhesive or a panel adhesive. These types of adhesives will create a durable bond between the molding/trim and the wood surface of the nightstand. Avoid using a standard household glue, as it may not hold up well over time. You can also consider using small finishing nails or brads to help secure the trim in place, pre-drilling holes first to prevent the wood from splitting. Just be careful not to damage the nightstand's surface when installing the trim
