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 thoughts. 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, 90x200 cm
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 fixed at the headboard or footboard of the bed.
Reviews
Awful bedAnonymous reviewerHad this bed just over a year and it's starting to bow out on the side (bearing in mind there's only my 5 year old getting in and out of this bed) and the slats are now dropping into the frame so the mattress is collapsing! It needs reinforcing in the middle on the sides, not just front to back.
Great bedAnonymous reviewerGreat bed for my tween. The storage space is perfect for her small bedroom. Was a little nervous as some reviews mentioned it was a noisy bed, we haven’t found this at all. Very happy with our purchase.
Not Sturdy at AllAnonymous reviewerThe bed started to fall apart within six months of purchase. The screws to the brackets that holds up the wooden slats fell out.
Tons of storage spaceAnonymous reviewerDaughter loves this bed. Tons of storahes space available behind the drawers. My only issue how creaky it is but on the whole a very good bed.
Not fit for purpose Anonymous reviewerI bought this bed for my son. He is 85KG, but the description says suitable for 100KG. It isn’t!! Had it just over 6 months and it’s broken. The screws holding the metal runner that support the bed base have pulled out destroying the chipboard that it’s made from. This bed is flimsy and not at all suitable for older/bigger children at all. The storage is great though.
Great for storage but not hardwearing.Anonymous reviewerBought this for our son when he was moving from his toddler bed to a bigger bed. We bought this as a more expensive option in the view that it would last.
It was easy to build and at first was a very sturdy and practical bed. The issue is that the lats holding the mattress in place often go underneath the metal rungs on the side of the bed.
If it wasn’t for this I would have given the bed 5 stars.
Love this!Anonymous reviewerMy 10yr old loves this bed and it's great for hide and seek because the drawers have a huge gap behind them.
Great storage size and comfy. Only complaint is the slats are flimsy
SIZING IS WRONG!Anonymous reviewerThe sizing to this bed is completely wrong! Which for me is a massive issue my son has a boxed room bedroom only has 200cm (length) space for a bed & for some reason they seam to of not Included the headboards either end! As the correct measurements is 206cm I will be contacting customer services!! As this is complete level of false advertising!! I’ve saved for months to buy my son this bed which now doesn’t actually fit in his bedroom!!
Could do with written instructionsAnonymous reviewerCould do with written instructions not just pictures
Great bed and storageAnonymous reviewerVery sturdy and strong and instructions were easy to follow. Got 2 of these now and a third will be following. The kids love the size of the storage. A winner all the way

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!
