SOLD - Most of a white IKEA Malm - Double/Full

You know what an IKEA Malm looks like, right? I assume you probably searched for "Malm", or "Double Bed", or whatever. I will post a picture from IKEA's website because the bed is currently disassembled.

I nearly have an IKEA Malm for sale. The missing piece is the cross piece that supports the slats that act as a box spring to support a mattress. This give you a few options in terms of actually being able to use this.

You could... find this missing piece somewhere (might not be that hard, as this is the same size for all IKEA slat beds), buy some wood from home depot to use as a cross piece to support the slats, or just drop in a box spring to support a mattress.

I used it with a box spring and mattress. The box spring rests on the floor with the frame built around it and the box spring is visible along the runners, but you can use a bed skirt inside the frame to mask it. This is actually a really nice option if you have a particularly nice mattress and box spring, but also like the Malm style frame. That is, you can use a normal box spring + mattress set and not have to buy a thin mattress with a weird name from IKEA (sultan fanbego iktorp meerb... billy mandal).

Anyway, I am asking $80 for the whole thing, or $60 without the slats. If you just need slats, you have just lucked out, because I will sell you just slats for $30.

I also have a box spring for $30 and mattress for $5. The mattress is horrible, but it is about $5 better than sleeping on the floor.
