Ikea Kura Reversible Bed Review

On August 29, 2009 I purchased the bed for my 6 year old daughter.  It took some time to put it together but once it was built my daughter's reaction was worth all the effort!!  You can either make the bed a low bed or you can build it like a loft bed leaving a cool space underneath the bed for your child.  You do have to make sure your mattress isn't more than 5 1/8" thick to meet it's safety requirements. The dimensions of the bed are as follows: Length: 78 3/8 " Width: 41 3/8 " Height: 45 5/8 ". They give you all the measurements in the instruction booklet.  It is also helpful if you have someone else there to help you out too.  My daughter loves climbing the ladder up to her bed!  You also have the option to buy a bed tent also made by Kura.  I purchased one and my daughter loves sleeping under a tent!! I would and have recommend this bed to other moms.  It's reasonably priced at $199, but you do have to build it yourself!!
