IKEA Mammut Toddler Bed
Aug 1st
After just about two and a half years and a brief stint on an Aerobed (a re view on this gem coming soon), we modified the IKEA Mammut crib into the IKEA Mammut toddler bed. As I have noted in some earlier comments, the crib/bed has held up great — but we were also lucky with the fact our son didn’t gnaw on the railing. We are still in love with this piece and the three drawer chest that is in his room.

IKEA SNIGLAR Crib Recall
Feb 23rd
IKEA is recalling its SNIGLAR cribs due to the potential for the mattress supports to collapse. You can get more information on this recall here at CPSC.gov.

The IKEA Expedit Bookcase was something we had in a former house. It was our first house and IKEA was ideal because it was flat out cheap. Now, it came back as a perfect blend of form and function. We knew we needed something that was multifunctional in that it needed to hold a More >
IKEA Mammut Three Drawer Chest
Feb 25th
Not much to review on this thing — the IKEA Mammut Three Drawer Chest has three drawers and works — but I did want to show a picture of how it looks in a room. The curtains in the background are from IKEA as well — but we had bought them years before for a different room. They just happened to match everything else.
Basically, in all of our searching we didn’t find anything similar to this set. I know it isn’t solid wood, much less wood, but the pieces definitely brighten his room. I really wanted to get the wardrobe, but More >
