Room×Lab Review · Review updated September 13, 2026

MALM’s useful storage comes with divided reports on noise and durability

The retailer aggregate covers 868 ratings; it is not a recalculated rating for the comments discussed here. 866 distinct retailer comments were studied. This review covers the MALM high bed-frame family with separate rolling underbed storage boxes; the pictured configuration is the US white Full four-box bundle. Saved retailer evidence spans other sizes, finishes, slat systems, two-box or frame-only purchases, regional dimensions, and older or lower-frame generations, so those details are not treated as interchangeable. Dresser, bedroom-set or service-only, and hydraulic lift-bed comments are excluded from bed-performance claims.

Room×Lab rating: 6.9 out of 10 (limited confidence). Useful underbed storage and a strong pooled IKEA rating lift the MALM family, but linked owner records also describe noise, support, drawer, and finish failures. The largest caveat is that evidence spans configurations and generations, without a fully read independent product evaluation.

  • Useful storage, with access and cleanliness tradeoffs: There are 5 favorable and 6 critical linked storage mentions. — Owners used the rolling boxes for bedding and clothing, including in smaller rooms. Bedside tables can obstruct the head-end boxes, carpet can impede rolling, and the open tops may admit dust; these are configuration-specific records, not prevalence estimates.
  • Quiet longevity is possible, but support setup matters: There are 5 favorable and 7 critical linked noise-and-stability mentions. — Quiet experiences lasting months or years coexist with creaking, movement, displaced slats, center sag, and bent support. Reports involve different sizes, generations, modifications, and LÖNSET, LEIRSUND, or newer LURÖY systems, which are not interchangeable.
  • Durability ranges from multi-year use to early failures: There are 5 favorable and 7 critical linked durability mentions. — Some owners reported three to more than five years of good condition, including one account spanning three moves. Isolated counterexamples include early drawer, slat, headboard, side-panel, finish, and center-support failures; the records do not establish a failure rate.

Before buying

Confirm your slatted base, mattress fit, floor clearance, and bedside-table placement before choosing this MALM family, because those details shape noise, access, and everyday usability.
