Daybed disappointment EdReally hard to assemble. Enclosed instructions were not very helpful. Had to consult two YouTube videos and even then it was a struggle. 2
Very poor screw qualityKendrewI don’t understand why IKEA needs to make the screws on the middle track supporting drawers particularly long with a plastic cap extending out from the middle beam. The screw can barely take the increased torque due to the length of the screw. The screw is now stuck and cannot be tightened or cannot be removed. This product sucks1
Sharp corners JodieYou’ll want to replace the pull handles on the drawers as they’re leg scrapers. We have this bed for our toddler and we immediately swapped out the pulls after an incident. As with most ikea furniture, the corners are so sharp. Just be careful 3
Great buyKristinGreat bed for my spare room. Fits the space perfectly and looks great. Comfortable whether sleeping on it as a twin or pulled out to full size 5
Needs structural improvements NatalyWe purchased our Brimnes daybed just over 3 months ago and all was great. Installation was good and we used it as a twin multiple times with no issues. We had a friend stay overnight and use it as a full bed (extended out), and the daybed fully collapsed under him while sleeping. Everything was installed properly with latches in place to prevent the two sides from separating, but due to what I’m assuming was an uneven weight distribution, the center of the bed collapsed which caused the two sides to pull apart. This product could benefit from structural reinforcements where the two sides connect/overlap. If you’re looking to buy a daybed, we would highly recommend going with the Hemnes model which has a slightly more solid design. Now I wish we had but we liked the look of the Brimnes more... There is also NO warranty on this bed, so if you’re over the 90 days and something happens, you might be offered a $50 gift card, as we were. Very disappointed. 2
Perfect blend if style and functionality LilyI recently purchased a Brimnes daybed and I couldn't be happier. It fits perfectly in my guest room, offering both a stylish seating area during the day and a comfortable bed at night. The assembly was straightforward, and the materials feel sturdy and well-made.
What I love most is built-in storage drawers. It’s been a game-changer for hosting overnight guests without compromising on space.
Highly recommend this daybed for anyone looking for versatility, especially in smaller spaces!5
missing partsAmirI bought day-time bed and there are no connection no bults and nuts, no tools, no fasteners and no connection. My house is far and it is really difficult to return back to store because of your mistake. What should I do?1
Great design but on the flimsy sideAnonymous reviewerThere are many beds with this design on the market. We’ll see how it stands up with time. Did most of the assembly alone. Instructions for the trundle were misleading. When moving into place it feels like it will fall apart3
Don’t BuyThereseI just bought this bed and had taken all the pieces out to build. I completed half the bed already to my surprise the one piece of wood that holds the other side for the slates had a crack in it. I messaged Ikea on facebook and gave them everything they asked (order number, part that needs to be replaced) they told me because it is not a piece that can be replaced…I needed to bring the ENTIRE bed back to exchange it with my receipt!!! So told them I already built half the bed and threw out the boxes and they said nothing they can do! Save your money and don’t even bother with this headache! They are a big corporate joke that does not want to help their customers at all! 1
Brimnes Daybed Review: Frustrated Owner’s ExperienceAnonymous reviewerI own the Brimnes Daybed, and while the frame itself is strong and holds up well, the wooden slats are a constant source of frustration. They’re too delicate and keep breaking, even with regular use. This has made it almost impossible to fully enjoy or rely on the daybed. To make matters worse, I couldn’t find replacement slats on IKEA’s website, leaving me with no clear solution to fix the problem. I’m stuck with a partially functional daybed that doesn’t serve its purpose. The fragility of the slats and the lack of replacement options are huge downsides. I now face the challenge of either finding a creative DIY fix, attempting to replace the slats with third-party options, or potentially having to replace the whole unit—all of which feel like an unnecessary hassle for a product at this price point. If you’re considering buying this daybed, be prepared for this issue. And if IKEA is listening, please make replacement slats available! Purchased on April 9, 2024.2

Not the best product.”ChristopherVery hard to put together. The slats don’t line up. The screws were terrible to put in. Very poorly designed. It was the hardest piece of furniture from IKEA that I have put together. And I have a lot of IKEA furniture.3
AmazingJiaxinIt’s a good5
Brimmed day bedJoaoNice bed works well and glad we upgraded to a firmer mattress. When on a carpet the roll out portion wheels sink into the carpet leaving it uneven at the front of the daybed.4
Great to except…MegumiBought this for my spare bedroom. Have opened it out twice for guests. I love the style, size and comfort of the bed. However upon opening it the second time I discovered that 1 wooden bed slat was broken. At this point I don’t know how, why or when it snapped but disappointed to see that. In time I will have to see if the slats hold up. I am hoping it was just a one off, defective piece of wood.3
Loved itMya Ava LynnBuilt super sturdy and definitely reliable, easy to construct and overall a good purchase. Would highly recommend5
Slats brokeIfuThere was a slate had black spot at the edge of middle. It was broken from there.2
Value for moneyAnthonyThe bed quality is great. My in-laws have been using it and find it comfortable. The mattress is comfortable as well.
The assembly isn't the easiest though and can get pretty annoying and challenging. We had to disassemble and assemble again as the drawers weren't sliding in.4
Pretty good in being compact but parts are very flimsyNitishEasy to assemble but parts are very weak. One of the drawer screw got worn out even with right drill head, one bed frame slat couldn't handle weight and broke into two on second day of use2
So badNganI bought this for my baby. But the slat was broken after 2 weeks. The mattress included was so thin. Not recommended. 1
