Absolute nightmare to buildStephanieThe directions are terrible, everything is packed in the most confusing way - pieces for step 1 in box 4, screws packed in a non-logical way, it's like they are just setting you up for failure. The screws for the knobs are impossible, they don't go into the knobs all the way. After all that, the bottom part doesn't slide out very well, but I'm not about to take this thing apart. I would definitely not recommend it as a regularly used bed, ours will only be used very occasionally for guests, so I'm less concerned about the bottom breaking. At the very least, save yourself the headache and get a task rabbit to put it together.2
Great additional sleeping option!BrianDaybed is perfect for our family needs. We bought it for an option for visiting guests and for our children to have sleepovers with friends.5
Love this new bed!BarbVery solidly made and easy to pull out the trundle. Love it!5
Do not buy this bedAaronBed barely lasted a month, cheap wood used for supports and break easily. It’s hard to open and closed. Contacted support multiple times requesting replacement parts and never sent. Stay away for this bed1
MI’m sing piecesMarybethMissing pieces and confusing graphics led to us getting to the end and having to unbuild part and rebuild.4
Exactly what my preteen was looking for.JolendaWe decided on this grown-up-friendly addition to my daughter's room.5
Good solid daybedTeresaBed is great, not too hard to put together. We were told that we could use a twin mattress on it instead of the IKEA so I bought two and they didn’t fit. It would be perfect if that worked.5
Be aware of the 5-star reviews and read the 1/2-stars firstJiaDO NOT BUY! Be aware of this extremely low quality and complicated product! Worst ikea product ever made. Before you consider buying this furniture, go read the 1/2-star reviews first! How come we all faced the same problem? If so, the design is a total failure. If I ever met the designer, I will ask the designer read all the negative reviews and please give us an explanation! 1
The bed broke.MariaI purchased this HEMNES daybed in December, and I’m very disappointed with its durability. After only a few months of normal use, the rear wooden support where the caster wheels attach broke. I expected much better quality from IKEA, especially for a piece of furniture that’s meant to be used every day.
The bed looks nice, but a structural part should not fail this quickly. I’m hoping IKEA will stand behind the product and provide a replacement part or another appropriate solution. Until then, I can’t recommend this bed based on my experience.1
Daybed FrameHollyTook a while to set up but it’s beautiful once completed!!5
UncomfortableJaydenI initially bought this bedframe almost one week ago, as I was in desperate need of a replacement for my very old one. I was hoping that, despite the stressful assembly and how time-consuming it was, it would be well worth it. It turned out that I was more disappointed than happy with the final result.
Although I was of course planning to use this as a bed, what also enticed me to buy it was how it acts as a sofa. However, during times when I'd use it for just that, it would be uncomfortable to even sit against, despite using a thick pillow, and that's mainly due to the design of the frame itself. Each wall that surrounds the frame has a top edge that sticks out and makes it feel difficult to relax against for me. Although the material is nice and good for what it is, I can't help but feel unhappy with it. Will be looking to see if I can return it if possible at all.2
Daybed, fighter of the NightbedJustinGreat bed overall, but I really wished I knew about the weight limit before buying. When it's in the sofa position, the limit is only 220 lbs, which is pretty low if you plan on having multiple adults sit on it. Aside from that restriction, it's a solid, functional piece of furniture4
Very well made.JanetIt took some time of course to put it together. About 3 hours. But the end result is very sturdy and I’m pleased with this product.5
Perfect for teenVerneneWe bought this as part of a room makeover for our teen girl. Great, cozy spot for her to sleep and hangout. With me, my husband, and daughter, it took a little less than 4 hours to put together.5
I call it my crochet couch! LOLNikiSo I like to crochet and I was in need of something where I could have lots of pillows, be cozy and be comfortable for when I fall asleep. The loveseat I had was not good enough as it was too short. Got rid of it and built this daybed in it's place. Since it's intended for only me, I don't plan on pulling it out to use the double bed feature. As for the slats, they seem pretty sturdy.....similar to that of a 2"x4". I LOVE the size of the drawers. I was able to load up a lot of my yarn in each one, so no more yarn messes on the floor! Haha I purchased a plush 8", non ikea mattress and it fit perfectly in the space. The ONLY downside for me is that when natural light hits it, you can see more of a brown undertone and it doesn't match the other black/brown Ikea items I purchased too well. Aside from that, I have ZERO issues with my new crochet couch! >_< It's perfect for what I wanted!! :D5
Broken wooden slats; replacement unavailableKimberleyWhen the bed was pulled out into a double bed the wooden slats broke. They snapped right in half (2) while I was attempting to make the bed. The customer service rep implied that I was standing on bed. This was further frustrating insulting because I would never stand on a bed to make it. Don't buy this bed, not worth it. I tried to obtain replacement parts but they do not provide these for replacement. I also asked to return the bed but am not getting a reply after being told that someone would reach out to me in 48 - 72 hours.1
BedAnitaThe drawers dont close all the way and the 2nd bed dont close all the way. Would not recommend2
Sturdy and durableIsabelWe bought this bed 4 years ago and is still as good as day 1. Haven’t used the tandem feature much. We bought a non-ikea mattress. Two adults and 2 kids sit on it at night to read. Well made bed and would recommend.5
Well made Daybed!!EllenAll the pieces included. Well-made, Definitely!! Love this item!!5
Nice design but very smellyXiaoyunWe go this bed aobut 3 months ago. It was very smelly. It takes about 3 months to let the odor go away. At first we put it in the bedroom. Because of the small, we put the 3 drawers in the garage, and the daybed in the office, so we can keep the window open all day long.2
