It seems to work quite well.</p> <p>@Phillybaby2013: I got the crib tent at a local baby store that was going out of business. We have actually taken it off now though, because my cat is terrified of my baby (LOL). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-gulliver-crib#post-319485 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 15:02:43 +0000 Mrs. Blue 319485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been thinking about buying two of these because it says it is solid beech, and I'm hoping I could paint it whatever color I want! Also, since we're buying two cribs, the price just can't be beat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-gulliver-crib#post-318372 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 01:51:01 +0000 looch 318372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the IKEA gulliver too and it is perfect for our needs. I wasn't in the market for a convertible crib, so we were looking to spend as little as possible to get a plain crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-gulliver-crib#post-317124 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 21:42:46 +0000 Phillybaby2013 317124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry to thread jack but @MsMini where did u get the tent? I'm afraid my kitty will lay in the crib but haven't seen much besides the pack and play type nets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-gulliver-crib#post-317107 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 21:14:33 +0000 MsMini 317107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cvbee: Thanks! I keep posting pics here and there, there wasn't a photo posting option before, so I never did a reveal! It is actually more decorated now (some more art on walls, a bookcase, etc). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-gulliver-crib#post-317101 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 20:58:38 +0000 cvbee 317101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: holy: how did I miss pics of your nursery before this?!

Yep, regular sheets fit, we do have an ikea crib mattress though (the thickest memory foam one). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-gulliver-crib#post-317018 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 18:05:34 +0000 photojane 317018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: I heard that too. I looked at dimensions on the ikea site, and it looks like a normal mattress would fit. It has the same measurements. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-gulliver-crib#post-317014 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 18:02:59 +0000 photojane 317014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thanks for the input! </p> <p>@MsMini: I LOVE your nursery! so cute! did regular crib sheets fit? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-gulliver-crib#post-317013 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 18:02:39 +0000 shopaholic 317013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the clean, simple lines too! I did read somewhere though that most regular crib mattresses don't fit the Ikea cribs? Just food for thought.</p> <p>@msmini - Love your nursery! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-gulliver-crib#post-317010 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 17:44:26 +0000 mediagirl 317010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, I love it. It has simple lines, that's what I liked best about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-gulliver-crib#post-316991 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 17:13:27 +0000 MsMini 316991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a gulliver crib. I really like the simplicity of it. It was so easy to put together, and it is quite solid. This is a picture of it in the room (there is a mesh "tent" over it to keep the cat out). </p> [attach=1297/12/mb4trj.600x400.533450_10151863129290565_1179617518_n.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-gulliver-crib#post-316986 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 17:02:46 +0000 LemonLong 316986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the sundvik, but the Gulliver looked nice in the stores too. I didn't like the Sniglar, because that looked really rough and the spindles looked really thin to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-gulliver-crib#post-316975 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 16:46:21 +0000 BoogieBea 316975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used to have the sniglar and had no problems with it. I assume the gulliver would be the same. I did sand it a little before we used it though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-gulliver-crib#post-316971 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 16:41:01 +0000 photojane 316971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>anyone have the ikea gulliver crib? i'm not a fan of the traditional curved, ornate cribs at bru. i like simple, clean lines. i love the way the gulliver looks online, but we don't have an ikea close by. it's definitely in our price range... even with shipping. if you have this crib, i'd love your input/opinions/suggestions! </p>
