I just went to the ikea website and they have a new program called ikea family and by signing up, you can get some discounts on various items, 90 day price protection, free coffee and hot cocoa at the restaurant, etc! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorites-at-ikea-for-baby#post-1345577 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 11:26:31 +0000 sunshineandsushi 1345577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost all the boys' nursery furniture is from Ikea. </p> <p>The Hemnes 3-drawer dresser. Space is limited in their room, this doubles as our changing table. </p> <p>The Hemnes tall shelf. Such a great shelf! People are shocked this is from Ikea.</p> <p>We're switching their room soon and making it more toddler-friendly so I recently bought a Lack table and long Expedit shelf that I'm planning to use sideways as a play ledge for them. </p> <p>This thread reminds me about the Ribba picture ledges too! Ned to do that for their new room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorites-at-ikea-for-baby#post-1345528 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 11:18:56 +0000 fussygal 1345528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sadly we didn't get the Hemnes dresser even though I really wanted it. I'm still going to scavenger for a used wooden one to paint. We did get a chair, the RIBBA frame ledge, RIBBA frames, drawer organizers, an Expedit shelf, curtains, and a bunch of smaller things. Oh! And the rocking moose - DH has been in love with that thing for almost a year lol. We brought our Surburban and our haul hardly fit in the back with the third row down! We'll have to make another trip when she's older to get some of the awesome stuff you all mentioned! I love that tent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorites-at-ikea-for-baby#post-1345478 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 11:10:20 +0000 looch 1345478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our crib was from IKEA, i wanted an inexpensive non convertible option. All the nursery furniture came from there as well, but the point was to do it inexpensively and not move the furniture back to the US in 2 years.</p> <p>We had a Hemnes cabinet as a changing table, i liked it better than drawers because I could open the cabinet with one hand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorites-at-ikea-for-baby#post-1345442 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 11:01:17 +0000 spaniellove 1345442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: Oh I need those! I've been thinking of getting wire wall baskets from LON for CD supplies but I like those. Do they sit flush against the wall? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorites-at-ikea-for-baby#post-1345387 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 10:47:48 +0000 Alivoo01 1345387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Hemnes dresser and double it as our changing table as well.

It's also solid wood which is awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorites-at-ikea-for-baby#post-1345239 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 10:15:38 +0000 LovelyPlum 1345239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@futuremama: Yay, I'm glad that it will be helpful!

I got a bunch of little things for my kids this past christmas from there. I think their cribs are rated really well for safety. We had one from them when DS was a baby. The malm dresser I believe is really popular for nurseries. We have the ribba frames all over the house. The 5x7s are just 4.99 I believe. </p>
