Back when we first fell in love with the Ikea Minnen toddler bed, we immediately checked to see if Ikea sells a similarly styled Minnen crib. Sadly, they do not. Are you listening, Ikea? We want a Minnen crib! In the meantime, we pulled together a few iron cribs that we think strike a nice balance between institutional bleak and overly ornate.

I've SEEN a Minnen crib at IKEA mid-2011. I fell in love with it too, so I checked the next time I was there. It was gone. As soon as I got home, I checked online, thinking the store must have just been out of stock, but it wasn't online either. The children's bed was still online though.... Something's up.
