Beautiful bedAmyIt’s a beautiful bed and fits nicely in our room. It was reasonably easy to assemble, similar to most IKEA beds. My only negative feedback is while tightening the screws in one of the drawers I noticed some bumps on the outside of the drawer, that was somewhat disappointing as I wanted to make sure it holds but I guess I screwed it in a little too tightly. Beware when you tighten the screws on the drawer fronts - don’t screw too tight! Otherwise it’s a very solid bed that we hope to enjoy for years to come.5
Overall satisfied but one small issueJonathanJust bought and assembled this bed. Overall I’m very satisfied with the look and sturdiness. One small but pretty annoying detail is that not enough little screws to mount the drawer rails were included. Had to go out to Lowe’s and pick up some substitute. So my advice would be to buy some extras if you can. They’re short one with a flat Phillips top, #12 thickness by about 3/8” long. I was missing the whole set for 2 out of the 4 drawers, 20 screws in total. My other advice to anyone buying this bed is have some patience, the assembly takes a little time. But otherwise I’m happy. It’s a solid bed, no wobbles. I added some stick on rubber feet on top of the packaged plastic ones to avoid sliding.4
Solid bedBlakeThis bed has been disassembled and moved twice and has still held up for 3 years now. It is a bit of a hassle to clean the headboard because of the design. The drawers hover above the floor which is very nice and allows for air flow under the bed. A side effect of this, as one other reviewer mentioned, is that cats do love sneaking into the drawers since they have access. Also, I believe the price was not nearly as high when I purchased it years ago. Still an all around bed frame and if you can afford it, I would recommend buying.5
What the actual heck!!!!EstherWe purchased this bed and assembly was easy. HOWEVER, this bed DOES NOT COME WITH the slats that hold the mattress up!!!!!!!!!!!! The instructions SHOW the picture of the slats but it does not come with it! The mattress falls through so you can't smoothly open the drawers underneth. We contacted IKEA and they were the ones that told us it did not come with the slats.........WHAT??? So, now we are left with having to build some to custom fit! BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Great for our growing teenage boyTheresaEasy to put together5
Excellent storage bedJeffreyThis was easy to put together and is very sturdy and functional.5
Handy storageKimGreat spot for linens and extra blankets. Anso design prevents things from getting stuck under the bed!5
misleading installation. bed frame makes mattress very highLiesbethHi all! I had fun making this bed but had trouble with the instructions/construction. There are two options on my full for mattress depth (a high and low option). I spent a lot of time matching the low mid beam with the low side rails and found they don't match. On my bed you had to match the low setting for the center beam and high options for the side rails. So there's only one height option. I kept installing and reinstalling. It took forever. ? the head and foot boards have the predrilled holes in the wrong place? To save you the same trouble, confirm the height from the floor of the different holes so won't have to do it over and over.
Also, I'm short and the included large Lugar bedframe raises the mattress height significantly. I returned it and plan to get the bed slats (even though they have terrible reviews). Sigh.3
Don’t get if you have catsBrennaThis is a nice idea but since the backs of the drawers are so short we cannot actually store anything in the drawers the cats continuously squeeze their way into the drawers through the center of the bed and everything is covered in fur.
Will be getting rid of this bed as soon as we determine what we are replacing it with 2
Good quality beautiful appearance JohnWell designed, high quality, exactly what we want for height and storage. Tons of parts to put together 🙁5
Great bedRebeccaSolid frame. Once together it is heavy to move.5
The toxic smell that doesn't go awaySaraThe bed over all looks nice and sturdy so far, but the toxic smell that it emits is impossible to remove. We had to buy an air purifier and keep venting the room to make sure we keep it safe for our baby who sleeps with us in the room. I've been reading it might come from the paint, still we have had the bed for 2 months now and things are not improving. 1
Bed sinks in-slate boards fall off their placeJessicaWe like the bed. However, the bed keeps sinking in because the boards that hold the mattress keep falling off their slots. We want to purchase a spring box but have no idea if it will work or what type to purchase since the ones that came with the bed are not working.
I also agree that putting this bed together was a nightmare. Do yourself a favor and get them to build it.
Need recommendation of a type of spring box that will work. 3
Sturdy, sleek, spacious bedPiuliSummary- needs two people to build this sturdy, sleeks, spacious bed, but totally worth the effort.
Pros---
1. White colour so goes with any type of room. I have a studio with white walls so it was important for me that the bed doesn't look chunky and this bed was the right choice for that.
2. Has four large drawers which I am using to store bed linen.
3. Material feels sturdy and long lasting, but only time will tell.
Cons---
1. Needs two people to build.
2. The base of drawers is cheap ply but does the job.
3. The drawers were slightly hard to setup as drawing was not exactly the same so I had to call Ikea and was on the phone for almost 45 mins. 5
IDANAS BED FRAME WITH STORAGE REVIEWAmirathe article comes in 4 boxes, heavy to move, plan either delivery or pick but ask for help. if you are to assembly the bed you will need an extra person. lot of details of the underbed drawer that need done correctly. drawers are super easy to assemble. the bed has to setting for the high of the mattress support, is a good idea to not to use a very thick mattress, so you can show the nice headboard.
We pair it with the lonset slat system, and that can be also tricky to assembly if you do not watch a video before. It will save you time. It took us 5 hours. If you are over 60 pay the assembly service with taskrabbit, is worthed.4
love this bedCarolgreat bed solid and the extra storage is a plus5
Very pleased ShirleyWe are happy with our IKEA storage bed. It is very sturdy and has a lot of storage.5
Slats not includedBethExtremely frustrated that slats were not included. Why? Just add this to the cost of the bed if it’s required for the bed to function. At least put an alert when checking out that you will need this.1
No mattress support slatsSarahNo one tells you that you have to buy the slats for the bed. Very disappointed 1
Poor quality for the priceKatarinaQuality of the bed is very poor, the bed squeaks all the time. Putting together this bed was a very long and dreadful process. Only positive about this bed is the storage space.2
