Advantages and disadvantages of models
According to reviews of the Malm bed with a lifting mechanism from IKEA, it looks great in a classic and modern interior, designed for a large bedroom. Those who put her in a small room often hit the sharp corners of the model. If you have the same problem, contact the consultants, they will help you buy special devices for corners or choose another model, which is allowed by the rules of the company.
Despite this, in the reviews of the IKEA Malm bed, good quality of the lifting mechanism, a huge amount of space under the mattress, is noted.
Bed with drawers
Who does not dream of order in a bedroom? According to reviews on the bed with IKEA Malm drawers, using it is a pleasure. True, those who expect to fit not only bedding, but also a lot of unnecessary things will be disappointed - the boxes are not as large as we would like, they do not occupy the entire area under the bed. There are single and double options.
When veneered, a woody pattern shines through, and the white model has a smooth surface.
Model Tips
In the reviews of the IKEA Malm bed, it is noted that when using the lifting mechanism, more efforts must be made to lift it, and at this moment the laid sheets and blankets can move out, they will need to be corrected. But at the same time, you can fill the entire space under the mattress, which is the volume of a large closet.
Boxes can be used by children and the elderly. In size, they do not go to the entire depth of the bed, between them there is a gap of approximately 1/3 of the width, where, if desired, you can still put something for long-term storage. This is important for those who do not have free space in the apartment. If the bed is against the wall, then it will be possible to use only two drawers on one side. The same problem will arise if you want to put a chest of drawers or a stationary table at the edge.
Some note the insufficient strength of the lamellas; among owners of a large weight, they break.
