[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you spend that kind of money on a used bed?

Ikea - http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20180566/

Paint, bed board to support the mattress (at Ikea), the plastic bins to go under the bed (if you want), mattress (Ikea, Costco, BJ's all have them for $100-150), and bedding.

Or, if you want to spend more, plenty of places.[/quote]

Op here. My kids broke last ikea bed we had. We just moved and a little short on money. So this bed was supposed to be temporary until I buy a new bedroom set.

It was a wooden bed, that's why I paid $250.00. [/quote]

The Ikea one I posted is all wood.  We put extra wood under the mattress and added more wood to the headboard.  We have two and have had them for 5 years and no issues.  I don't get how a kid breaks a bed in less allowed to jump or do other stuff.  Ours is $50.  If it broke, you can replace it 5 times for the cost of the used one.  Or, teach your kids to be more careful.[/quote]

I had the same one previously. I don't know what exactly caused it to brake. Maybe moving, maybe kids jumping but I had it for 4 years. I went to ikea to buy the same one but my husband was adamant that he would not buy from ikea. He likes one from Belfort for $500.00+. So we both agreed on the Craigslist one. It's my mistake. I should've brought from ikea or similar. Thanks everyone.[/quote]
