Question Thickness of MALM headboard?
Hey all. I'm working on a way to raise a double MALM bedframe up a bit so I will have more storage space. Could someone tell me what the thickness of the actual board that makes up the headboard and footboard part of the bed is?

Thanks!

Re: Thickness of MALM headboard?
I've assembled countless Malm beds, and never measured the thickness of the head- and foot boards. I will be re-visiting one on Friday, and will try to remember to take this measurement for you. In the meantime, I'd guess you're looking at about 2".

Thumbs up Re: Thickness of MALM headboard?
That would be great if you could measure and see! I'm thinking about 2" myself. I have the jonas desk with pull out panel which looks like a similar style, and the thickness there is just a smidge under 2"

Re: Thickness of MALM headboard?
The head and foot boards were close enough to 2" that I wouldn't waste the web space saying "a smidge under"!

2" it is.

Re: Thickness of MALM headboard?
That is perfect! Thank you so much for checking for me!

My plan is to use a set of 4 of these at both the headboard and the footboard. If it is sturdy enough I may try adding two more sets for extra height, but I'd be happy with one!
