5. Operating Your Dressing Table
The IKEA MALM dressing table is designed for everyday use as a surface for personal grooming, display, or as a desk. The primary operational feature is the integrated drawer:
- Drawer Use: Gently pull the drawer front to open. The pull-out stop will prevent the drawer from coming out completely, ensuring safety and preventing accidental spills of contents. Push the drawer back in until it is flush with the table frame to close.
- Surface Use: The glass top provides a smooth, durable surface suitable for placing cosmetics, jewelry, or small decorative items.
6. Care and Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your dressing table.
- Frame: Wipe clean using a damp cloth and a mild cleaner. Immediately wipe dry with a clean, dry cloth to prevent moisture damage.
- Glass Top: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For best results, use only water or a standard window cleaner. Wipe dry with a clean, lint-free cloth to avoid streaks.
- Drawer Bottom: The drawer bottom is 100% polyester. For general cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth. For spills, blot immediately and clean as you would the frame.
- General: Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or rough scrubbing pads, as these can damage the surfaces.

7. Troubleshooting
While the IKEA MALM dressing table is designed for durability, minor issues may arise. Here are some common troubleshooting tips:
- Wobbly Table: Ensure all screws and fasteners are tightened. If the table still wobbles, check that it is placed on a level surface. Adjust glides if present.
- Drawer Not Sliding Smoothly: Check the drawer runners for any obstructions or debris. Ensure the drawer is correctly aligned on the runners. Lubrication with a silicone-based spray can improve smoothness if needed.
- Glass Top Shifting: Verify that the glass top is properly seated in its designated position. Ensure the frame is level.
If problems persist, refer to the original assembly instructions or contact IKEA customer support.
