I built my malm dresser 2 days ago and it looks so good with the LED lights. I just wish Ikea had solid block dressers kind of like the solid white ones. All the black dressers have a wooden look and texture but I wanted a cleaner look.

It's about 2 inches thick. You can put a monitor arm for sure. However, it might need a bit of customization on since the cable tray gets in the way. You can remove it altogether if you like.
