| We just moved and my son’s twin bed frame is toast. Where in NW DC can I go buy something decent in solid wood that won’t be $$$? I’m guessing he will upgrade to a full-size within the next year or so, so I don’t want to spend a lot. Ikea in College Park had practically nothing in stock and I don’t have time for another trip that far. Any suggestions? |

| Just upgrade to a full now. Amazon, Walmart, Target online. |

| You aren't making sense. You want solid wood and went to look at Ikea? Solid wood is expensive. Why would you buy a twin and then upgrade to a full-size next year? Just get the full size now. If you don't want to go far or spend a lot, you'll need to look on Craigslist, FB marketplace, Next door etc. |

After looking at Ikea and seeing nothing, I realize that I would rather get something nice that is solid wood. I don't want something cheap or ugly that can't be passed on or sold once it is outgrown. |

But then you said you don't want to spend $$$...I still think your best bet is to 1. get a used twin bed or 2. just splurge for the full. I would do the full now. |

| Get a metal frame on Amazon that doesn’t require a boxspring. |

Metal frame or upgrade now.
IKEA Hemnes is solid wood and perfectly serviceable. |

FWIW, both my kids have IKEA beds and they have held up well. One bed is going on 6 years old now.
Room and Board and West Elm have lots of beds but they are $$$. |

| For solid wood I’d go to Room and Board. I don’t know what “affordable” is to you. The Room and Board on 14th has great customer service. |
