apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I dig it, and you can't beat the price - but I'd be staining or painting that wood before you can say "boo!"

... or upholster

Love it! I only wish it came in King or CA King. Unfortunately, my husband says we MUST have a huge bed. I disagree but I lost that battle long ago... LOL!

What are those drawers made of? I'd be concerned about them being insubstantial. I would paint it too, but other than that, I dig this bed.

This is great! Hold Everything used to have a nice bed with storage, but that's history and gothic cabinet craft has many kinds but they're not very attractive. I always wondered why Ikea didn't have more storage bed options and they finally delivered.

With that wood painted white, this would be pretty sleek... Good to know, though I don't think I can overcome my husband's anti-Ikea bias.

Here's one on the UES for sale - - complete and ready to go. The big base is actually two pieces so that it can squeeze into tight doorways. http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/fur/322742675.html

I like it a lot! I'd been planning to buy the Malm bed frame whenever the Portland Ikea opens, but I think I like this one more.

That figures, after a year of searching for something like this i just dropped almost a grand on a non-storage platform bed. Sigh.

Whoa, that whole line is pretty hot. I think one of those storage units might just be in my future.

nice
does anyone know if the bed can support a box spring in addition to the mattress? and anyone know if the "storage boxes" slide easily or are they a pain in the butt?

thanks.
