That's nice Snags, I like the nice simple Ikea stuff. Is there a bed in that range?

There is but it's too big - I need one that is under 200cm length and they're all 200cm or more. I've found a few that are 197cm or so, but I don't like them. :rolleyes:

I'd really like wood, or plain-ish metal, with a gap underneath because I have some underbed drawers, and I really need them for storage.

There's one in Sleepmasters, which would fit and I like, but the colour is described as honey pine. It looks oak-y coloured in the picture, but 'honey' seems to imply yellowy to me, so I think I need to go and look at it in the store.

I have Pax wardrobes. They've been fine although the sliding doors on mine were a pig to fit - no room for proper drawers. I have the Maln drawer unit which match - the now have a wardrobe in that range but didn't then.
Beware Ikea beds - the only place to get linen to fit is Ikea and it washes dreadfully.

Thanks Bookie - the one I'm getting just has normal doors so I'm hoping it wont be too much of a pain. My drawers are Malm too (I think...).

I really really want the shoe holder that you can get as an accessory, but at £30, I might have to ask for it as a Xmas present!

I've already got a mattress, so as long as it will fit on an Ikea frame, I won't need any new bedding, but we've had Ikea bedding before and you're right, it's not very good.

Someone is going to have to take this cake off me...I have just eaten more of it...so I have practically eaten the whole cake to myself...

I think Ikea have maybe changed their bed sizes recently.. OH got an Ikea bed (nearly new with an Ikea mattress and chest of drawers off eBay for £55 cos the woman had decided she didn't like it! :eek: ) and he just got sheets etc from Argos which fit fine. They can be weird though, I bought a couple of Ikea duvet covers years ago that don't quite fit normal duvets - one is lovely and soft though, but the other one feels really hard and horrible

*resists obvious joke about needing a screw too* :cool:


I was just going to order it online so I didn't have to worry about how to carry it home with two kids in tow, but I will do you a deal - if you come to Bunny's, I will nip up there this afternoon, get you some screws, and bring them with me!

My bedroom furniture is Ikea too - Hemnes drawers from when they did em in wood finish, rather than the paited finish they do it in now. They're gorgeous and i love em. We have built in wardrobes so didnt need to buy them

Want to buy more Hemnes for the kids rooms one day, coz their current furniture is rubbish

Most of my furniture came from Ikea.
I have a huge tin of spare bits too.
