I'm looking at a couple Ikea beds, and would like opinions on either or both of them. The two I'm leaning towards are the Malm and the Kodal. I like the look of the Kodal, but am not sure what it looks like up close. The Malm looks good as well, but I wish I could see pictures of it with the matching bedside tables. Any opinions are appreciated.

Search the forums for Malm and you'll find several posts that should be helpful.

Two of my friends own the Malm, one with the tables and one without. The bed and two table setup looks pretty damn cool...I don't like it without.

The overall look is sturdy, but of course close inspection shows the bed is not exactly top notch material. Overall it's a great bed and has served them well. A great look for little money.

We have the Malm bed. It's great, but just make sure you get a good matress to go along. It also looks best with the accompanying beside table and dresser. For the price it's great. Good Luck!
