How's the quality of IKEA furniture?
Question:I was looking at the beds because theyre cheap. Hows the quality? How much would you guys normally spend on a queen size bed? $300? $700? What's too much?
Answers:
I have bought IKEA in the past. Most of the furniture is well built. HOWever I find it is not always comfortable. I am 6'2" and it seem most of the stuff is build for people much shorter.
Now when it comes to the bed the problem is a lot of the stuff is low to the ground which I do not care for. I recommend you stop by the store and try the framing for size and then go to a mattress store and compare prices and options.
One other thing I forgot to mention, we bought a twin size for the daughter a while back and no standard twin sheets fit the darn thing. Seems they use cm not inches back then and the sheets where close but not exact. So recheck the mattress sizing. (in inches)
From what I've seen of Ikea their stuff is crap. It's all ready to assemble particleboard junk like an entertainment center. I wouldn't waste my money, your's is a different subject lol. Some of their styles are nice but you get what you pay for.
WELL i WOULDNT SPEND OVER 1000 DOLLARS ANYTHiNG LESS iS FiNE
IKEA has many options from modern (MALM) to more traditional (HEMNES) Stay away from DALSELV, VESTBY, ANEBODA, ASPELUND, and RAMBERG... these are the lower price cheap finish options.
You can certainly find a quality long lasting bed frame in your price range, most likely in the $400 range. The prices are low because you need to assemble it yourself, but beds are one of the easiest things to assemble. They are low to the ground, but you can use a box spring with some frames to raise the mattress up, and some frames are designed so you can adjust the height of the slats which support the mattress. While they may be low to the ground, most frames have room for an under the bed storage box, so they aren't all *too* low.
I must disclose that I do work for IKEA, but I bought my bed prior to working there, and it was well within my budget and I've had it over 8 years. It is a mid-range solid pine bed, I got if for $350 for a queen. Rest assured, IKEA now sells standard US sizes for beds (for the last 7 years that I personally know about), so your mattress/sheets etc will work. I seriously think IKEA would work well for you. But to be fair, I will include another retailer, if you are into a more modern look, check out CB2.com. It's more expensive than IKEA for sure, but still way cool furniture!
Happy bed shopping!
My experience with IKEA furniture isn't good. It is very cheap and most of their stuff though it looks good the quality is terrible. I would look into buying a bed at Costco or a furniture store before IKEA. Remember, you get what you pay for, if it's cheap it isn't going to be any good or last very long.
