      Bought 2 billy bookcases for £20 each in 1991, and moved them a couple of dozen times, including moving country twice. Last month I disassembled them and used the pieces to make wall shelves in the pantry of the house I bought 2 years ago. That’s some longevity.

          I think that’s every Malm set of drawers in existence. Mine has the same issue.

          But in my case it’s because I sat in the draw as a kid.

          I have two MALM dressers with probably 2 cracked beams each. That’s after I was able to get that part replaced on both, so technically it has happened 6 times.

      Almost everything in my apartment is from ikea, the only thing that isn’t holding very well is the sofa and that was my fault, we changed orientation 4 times and some of the screw holes got to big.

      And even then the sofa is still good, is just kinda crooked if you now where to look
