Room×Lab Review · Review updated September 13, 2026

One white Full owner praised the four rolling drawers; across MALM sizes, others report noise, sagging support and drawers that broke

Room×Lab read 866 distinct written IKEA reviews of MALM high bed frames with rolling storage boxes; IKEA's 4.26 average comes from 868 ratings across the same listings. Two reviews below are from this white Full four-box bed (IKEA US, 2017; IKEA Canada, 2021). The other reviews come from owners of other sizes, finishes and slat bases, two-box or frame-only purchases, other countries' versions, and older or lower-frame designs, after one day to more than five years of use. Reviews only about dressers, bedroom sets, service or lift beds do not shape this review. We picked both white Full reviews, then recent praise, the longest use reported and two specific failures.

Room×Lab rating: 7.1 out of 10 (limited confidence). One white Full owner praised the four drawers and the value; another found assembly somewhat difficult. Across MALM sizes and finishes, IKEA's average is 4.26 from 868 ratings, but owners report noise, sagging support, broken drawers and finish failures. The score rests on owner reviews, not hands-on testing.

  • Useful storage, with access and cleanliness tradeoffs: 5 favorable and 6 critical storage mentions, across MALM sizes — One parent praised the four drawers under this white Full; other owners used the rolling boxes for bedding and clothing, including in smaller rooms. Bedside tables can block the head-end boxes, carpet can slow rolling, and the open tops can collect dust.
  • Quiet longevity is possible, but support setup matters: 5 favorable and 7 critical noise and stability mentions, across MALM sizes — One owner on LEIRSUND bases heard heavy noise after a few months that tightening and padding eased only briefly; others report quiet use for months or years. Complaints include creaking, movement, displaced slats, center sag, and bent support across LÖNSET, LEIRSUND, and newer LURÖY bases, which differ.
  • Durability ranges from multi-year use to early failures: 5 favorable and 7 critical durability mentions, across MALM sizes — One owner reported no defects after more than five years, and another's bed came through three moves. On the other side, one owner had two of four drawers break on the first day; others describe slat, headboard, side-panel, finish, and center-support failures.

Before buying

Choose the white Full for four rolling drawers if bedside tables won't block the head-end boxes; carpet can slow them. Across MALM sizes, owners report noise and sagging on some slat bases; one had two drawers break on day one, so check drawers as you build.
