Drawer assembly parts are very poor qualityAnonymous reviewerI have assembled a lot of Ikea furniture over the years, so I'm well familiar with the cam lock fasteners. Someone decided to save some pennies and make the cams out of plastic, instead of metal. That was a terrible idea, especially when connecting to a metal dowel pin. The locking surface of the cam breaks with minimal force. Charge me $1 more and provide metal fasteners, so I can actually assemble the drawers without parts breaking or bending with use. I want to like this product, but you're making it hard.2
Drawers are uselessAnonymous reviewerLike many others have said, the drawers fall apart. It's just poorly designed and not made to withstand actual use of drawers. I should have returned it but it was a busy time in my life and I just couldn't think about disassembling an entire frame and bringing it back.1
Bed is fine, drawers a messJordiWith no use at all, drawers either don’t fit under bed at all or fall apart with barely any force 2
Excellent choice for small spacesReginaI love this bed. It is very comfortable and so efficient with the drawers. They're quite spacious.5
Great bed. WendyI’ve bought 2 of these for my granddaughters and they love them. The extra storage is great with the pull out drawers.5
Not really satisfiedMaliwe bought this bed frame a couple months ago and the drawers keep breaking i’ve went to ikea for pieces to repair it and 3 of my drawers are broken. I don’t think i’d recommend getting the bed if you are planing on using the drawers2
Terrible. Bed squeaks. Drawers fall apart.Anonymous reviewerThe quality of IKEA furniture has deteriorated over the last 6 years or so ever since they started using cheap quality hardware and materials. I know they are trying to be more sustainable, but sustainable doesn't have to equal 'cheap'. This bed is no different. The bed started squeaking after only 2 months of use and one of the drawers near the headboard tore a hole in the material lining the underside of the bed. And the drawers? They're a total mess all on their own. After only three months, the front panels of two drawers fell off so easily with such gentle use. I exchanged two drawers for two new ones. Even while carefully assembling the new drawers, the fasteners cracked and broke because they're made of cheap plastic, and for some reason there is a huge gap between the front panel and the two side pieces of one of the drawers. I resorted to fixing the drawers on my own by installing brackets to secure the front panels, which is very effective at holding them in place.1
Cute bed but potential design flaw..?KellyThis is a really cute looking bed but unfortunately the face of pull out drawers has fall off a few times. Ikea even sent us replacement pieces and it worked for a few months then the same thing happened. Do not recommend.1
Perfect sizeAnonymous reviewerThis bed is ideal size for tight spaced bedrooms nice finish and colour5
Need some better locking partsJohnGreat bed, but the plastic pieces supplied to attach the drawer fronts all broke. Luckily I had some metal ones and used those. Not very good. The bed itself is excellent!3
Good sized bedAnonymous reviewerI waited for the gladstad bed frames to become in stock for 2 months especially for its reasonable measurements perfect for small apartments and student dorms, frame size does not exceed the actual mattress size so it saves space.5
Excellent for the priceAlexandreSturdy and comfortable. Very easy to assemble. Nice finishing. No problems so far.5
