applefreak 1 Report post Posted October 8, 2007 actually ikea things are broadly divided into two categoriessolid wood ones and chip board onesthe solid wood range is good and can last many years, but pricey toothe chip board ones are filmsy, cannot touch water and generally can't last too long !!

xlan 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2007 oh.. if not much movements on bed.. shldn't be any problem.. my current ikea beds also served me very well n sturdy for the past 5yrs.. only when times my insomnia relapse n keep tossing on bed i'd hear the yik yik yik sounds loh.. i tink is cos the base is wooden strips n not a one piece board.. tats y got the yik yik yik sound.. for my new place.. really need a sturdy one piece solid board no less than 9mm thickness to support the simmons mattress as adviced by the showroom saleslady..
