Always wanted one of these as a kid… Not too late!
Description of STORA from IKEA:
A loft bed is perfect when you need to combine several functions in a small space. The height creates space below for a seating area, a work space, a walk-in closet – or a parking space for your bicycle.
My relative has one of these we purchased 2nd hand for them. It is a bit wobbly so putting brackets in the corners soon for more stability. The previous owner cut the legs a bit shorter which may be contributing to the stability I believe.
I wish there was a version that goes up/down like a sit/stand desk does.
IKEA recommends a minimum of 270cm ceiling height for this bed FYI.
How is this even worth $500… looks cheap AF
That's my issue with IKEA. Prices have gone semi-premium but the quality certainly hasn't increased to match.
Absolutely true.
Also at Rhodes. This is tall enough for an average person to stand underneath but requires 9 foot ceilings.

This but in black.
Might be okay for a guest bedroom but having to go up and down all the time gets tiring.
The whole thing about loft beds is that they make more space in a small room/studio.
One can have a lounge/desk, storage robe and bed where they could've just previously had a bed. Now they have a seating/relaxing area they won't need to go up and down all the time and can instead just use the bed for sleep.
This. A mate's house has pokey rooms but with high ceilings. They got these for the kids (teens) well over 5 years ago and they still love it. Very intelligent use if limited space.
So much room for activities!
This ain’t the most stable setup even for the instore demo unit
This has been reduced further for Easter. Its $299 at Springvale.
