Anna and her team presented a first version of the bed with shelves and drawers – without handles. "We know that children of this age like to throw themselves onto the bed and can get hurt from protruding handles", Anna explains. And of course, the children threw themselves onto the bed when the team invited them to a Kid's Lab, a structured method we’ve developed to hear children's opinions and feedback. When the children settled in and sat on the bed’s edge, their ideas started to flow. "A boy pointed out that he could feel the edge of the bed as he sat with his legs dangling", says Anna. “He also wanted to be able to "slide" off the bed easily."

More information
SLÄKT Bed frame with storage, white, Twin
The drawers are easy to open and spacious enough with room for toys, clothes and other gadgets that teenagers usually like to "store" on the floor.
Soft edges, recessed handles and just a few visible fittings make the bedframe safe and give it a clean design.
You can easily adapt the timeless look based on your taste and personal style by completing with different bed textiles, pillows and accessories.
The shelf section can be attached at the headboard or footboard of the bed.
Ratings and reviews
Great bed frameAnalynThe bed was a bit too high for my daughter but she loved it. Drawers at the bottom was necesaary for her clothes, makea her room look neat.
Good for the pricePriscillaI really liked it. You definitely need a second person to put it together. However, for the price, the quality is good. I have been using it for a couple of months now and it stands well, there were no fabric errors, the wood does not crack or make sounds when you sleep and the storage is deep enough and useful. I definitely recommend it for small spaces.
Absolutely love themJennPerfect.
Bed frameNormaIts sturdy and functionality is good. However we forgot a very vital piece which was suppose to be the support slants for the bed. Since its a hassle to drive and not able to keep we had to use an old one we have. If the pieces were all packed together, it would be easier to just buy and go. You really have to pay attention for how many pieces to take. Other than that its all good.

Story
For all kids who like to dangle legs
When we developed SLÄKT bed with storage, we had help from the world's leading experts at being children – children themselves. 10 children aged 8 to 14 got to see and test the first bed version. Sitting on the edge of the bed with dangling legs, they thought of very important and crucial points.
Anna Carme works with product development at Children's IKEA and came up with the idea of a bed with storage after having visited many homes of families with children around the world. "Many families have limited space and the lack of storage creates a lot of frustration. It can also be difficult for children of school age to find their own place where they can have their things close at hand."
Without hard edges and handles
A bed from a child’s perspective
"The other children agreed and of course they were right in wanting a bed to be comfortable to sit on too", says Anna. The children's opinions led to the edge being lowered. ”It was important for us to develop a bed from a child’s perspective. This is the way we do things at Children´s IKEA. By involving children in our product development, we can learn more about their needs and dreams – and how they get in and out of bed."

Created together with children
Children are the most important people in the world and we’re curious to hear what they have to say since we create products for them! Therefore, we invite children to creative and playful sessions where they get to participate in our product development. Here they can express themselves freely and draw, show or tell us what is important to them. Their opinions matter and make our products better. After all, they’re the experts!
