I got my Sniglar for FREE on Craigslist! It was/is in perfect shape, and you can also always get any missing hardware from IKEA. I saved a search alert on CL so I got an email anytime a new posting came up :) I think you can probably do the same on FB. Love love love the Sniglar, going on 3 years now and hoping it lasts til 5 once we have to take one side off. Good luck!
Enthusiastic — 3 years of use, still in perfect shape, loves it
We have the ikea sniglar and it's amazing!! I love that it converts to a toddler bed, which is how we are currently using it. My baby also liked to put his mouth on the rail when he was younger, so I'm glad we went with an unpainted wood crib.
Enthusiastic recommendation — loves the toddler bed conversion and unpainted wood for teething safety
Honestly, I love my Ikea crib. They are super affordable, simple, and I honestly love the simple styling myself. My nursery is tiny, and so I wanted a simple crib with drawers, and Ikea was the only ones I could find that weren't hilariously expensive. The model I have they don't have anymore, super simple crib with drawers, but they have a nice selection right now. My crib still looks perfect, and it's been through a move, and now my second is using it. I mean neither of my kids chewed on it, b...
Strong positive — survived a move, two kids, still in perfect condition, loves the simplicity and price
Thirding? IKEA! You can get a crib with the toddler bed transition piece for under $100 which is safe for sleep, sturdy, and looks great! We loved ours so much that we got the same one for kid #2.
Bought the same crib for second child — strong endorsement of value and quality
Have you checked marketplace for a secondhand Sniglar? They hold up well between kids. Ours looks basically brand new and my second is 13 months old. My first used it from 4-24 months and my second has used it since she was 2 months old. We've also moved with it multiple times. It's a good quality item that I think I'd be comfortable with getting secondhand.
Strong positive — used across two kids and multiple moves, still looks brand new
100% the IKEA Sniglar. Cheap, sturdy, and looks great.
Concise but specific — names three concrete qualities: price, sturdiness, appearance
I've had the Ikea Sniglar one forever and found it way better quality than the price would suggest. Its just plain old solid wood. Converts up and down and then to a toddler bed.
Positive — quality exceeds price expectations, notes solid wood and conversion options
Yes to the IKEA crib! I bought one off Facebook marketplace for $50; it has worked beautifully. I love that it is not painted too since babies will start to chew on the wood.
Positive — works beautifully, appreciates unpainted wood safety for teething
It's not painted 😂. It's just plain solid wood. It may not be your aesthetic- I totally get that. But it's so simple there is just next to nothing that can go wrong, and even if you look at the reviews, the negative review is like " I lost a critical screw," and the Ikea responses "we dmed you to send you a replacement screw."
Positive with practical details — solid wood, nothing can go wrong, good customer service
Ya, I have the plain ikea one that is just the 'unfinished'. My son has been in it for 2.5 years with no issues. It converts to a toddler bed with one side coming out.
Positive with specific duration — 2.5 years of issue-free use, notes conversion feature
We have the ikea sniglar and it's been great. It converts to a toddler bed too. You have to buy the mattress separate. We have a Graco mattress and it's perfectly fine for the cost. You do not need an expensive mattress, all infant mattresses are safe.
Positive with practical advice — converts to toddler bed, mattress sold separately but affordable options work
