Bow down, fellow parents: a dad has just claimed the title of DIY nursery champion! When Ryan Thompson set out to help his son transition from crib to bed, he faced a challenge. His little one had one request: he wanted the “most awesome” bed ever. And wow, did Ryan deliver!
This clever dad crafted an incredible lofted bed that features a slide, a secret door, a ball run, and even a pulley system! Ryan describes his work as an ‘Extreme IKEA Hack,’ where he repurposed IKEA components in completely unexpected ways. For instance, the Trofast storage system, while still serving its original purpose, now supports a thrilling slide. The Besta shelving unit has been ingeniously transformed into a bookcase door, revealing a hidden hideaway underneath the lofted Kura bed. Plus, a second Kura bed was taken apart to provide essential materials for this ambitious project.
We can’t wait to see the reaction of this lucky toddler! Moving from a crib to a big kid bed can be tough, but with such an exciting setup, getting this kid to leave his room might be a challenge too!
