Materials: 2x MALM Chest with 2 drawers, black-brown
Description: We bought two small Malm Chests as nightstands but I the height of them annoyed me real quick.
So we cut off the lower half of each Malm and attached the remaining pieces to the back so you’d receive a nightstand looking like the old Malm nightstand.
We added a power socket to the top and mounted our selfmade lamps to the back plate.
Only thing I had to buy were the sockets, matching covers and two tiny hooks for the lampshades.
