IKEA MALM Nightstand Assembly Instructions
General Advice
Before starting assembly, ensure you have the necessary tools: a screwdriver (?) and a hammer (?). Check that all parts are present and undamaged. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact IKEA for assistance. Avoid forcing parts together; assemble on a soft surface like a rug or the packaging to prevent scratches.
