IKEA MALM Dresser

Model 703.546.44

MALM is IKEA's clean-lined six-drawer dresser, here in the wide 160 cm size. It flat-packs into three boxes, and the largest is a long, thin carton about 66 by 19 by 3 inches at roughly 73 pounds. Only those flat boxes travel your route, so the finished dresser's width never has to clear the door.

Typical Clearance Analysis (examples)

These are illustrative scenarios, not guarantees for your space. Run your own measurements through the checker below for a result you can trust.

32-inch door

Likely Fits
  • largest box is only ~19 inches across its short face
  • flat pack is just ~3 inches thick, so tilting is rarely needed

30-inch door

Likely Fits
  • box short face (~19 in) clears with room to spare
  • the ~66-inch box length only matters on tight turns and stairs

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. How many boxes does the MALM 6-drawer dresser ship in?

    It ships flat in three packages. The largest is about 167 by 49 by 8 cm (roughly 66 by 19 by 3 inches) at about 33 kg (73 lb); the two drawer boxes are smaller and lighter, about 18.6 kg each.

    01
  2. Is the door or the stairs the harder fit for the MALM?

    For a doorway, the flat boxes are easy — the widest face is under 20 inches. The longer challenge is the roughly 66-inch box length on tight stair turns or narrow hallways with corners.

    02
  3. Do I assemble the MALM after carrying it in?

    Yes. The dresser is flat-packed and built in the room. The 160 cm assembled width never has to pass through your door — only the flat boxes do.

    03
  4. How accurate are these measurements?

    These are IKEA's published package figures for the white 160×78 cm 6-drawer model, captured in mid-2026. Carton sizes can vary slightly; measure your door and confirm with the live checker before you move.
