Ikea near anyone?

Living in Alaska has its downside, we dont have a lot of buying options and no one ships to Alaska. I am down to the two cribs that consumer reports rates best, one of them being the DaVinci Emily and the other the Ikea Leksvik. Would someone be willing to go to Ikea and look at this crib for me and tell me what you think? Its hard to say yes to something you have never seen.

O and I was saying something to my DH about how the LO is about the size of an onion and his reply was "O so its the size of an ogre's feelings"? hahah.

Re: Ikea near anyone?

  • We were just at Ikea and I remember this crib and their white one being very sturdy.  We were just browsing though.

    LEKSVIK Crib  Length: 53 7/8 " Width: 31 1/8 " Height: 35 7/8 " Bed width: 27 1/2 " Bed length: 52 "  Length: 137 cm Width: 79 cm Height: 91 cm Bed width: 70 cm Bed length: 132 cm

     

  • I've been wanting to go to one, but I don't know when I'll get to go... If you still need me to look when I finally plan the trip then I'll let you know and check out some stuff for you. I don't think it'll be too soon though...
  • We've got one not too far from us. I'm interested in going sometime soon-ish. I'll let you know before I do and see if there's anything you want me to check out.

  • i actually am in ikea all the time and looked at that crib. i love it and would have gotten it if my MIL didn't end up buying our crib for us (we got a davinci convertible crib instead).  that crib always gets great reviews and everyone who has it, highly recommends it. i think it's great especially for the price!

  • In general, I like the Leksvik furniture and have quite a few pieces in our home. Good quality and attractive.

    Thats good to hear, I didnt like the look of it at first but now I do. The only things is they dont have it online so I would have to have my friend go buy it and see if the store would ship it or see how much it would be to ship. My MIL is buying us our crib but she knows me well enough not to just go buy something:)

    Yeah DH spent 30 mins in Buy Buy Baby looking at strollers, so we're just heavily browsing and reminding ourselves we don't have $700 extra a month for daycare.

  • There's an ikea just 10 miles from us - we go pretty often. I'll probably be there getting some lighting this weekend if you need me to check it out!
