GONATT Crib with Drawer – A Thoughtful Blend of Design and Functionality

If you're on the hunt for a crib that's both good-looking and super functional, the GONATT crib from IKEA might just be the one. With its soft, rounded design and classic white finish, it's a beautiful piece that fits right into almost any nursery. But beyond the looks, it's the thoughtful details that make this crib a winner.

Storage That Saves the Day

Let's talk about that drawer underneath — it's a game changer. Spacious enough to hold everything from extra sheets and diapers to favorite stuffed animals, and it slides out smoothly without waking the baby (tested and approved!). When you're juggling a sleepy baby and trying to find that one swaddle blanket, having storage like this makes all the difference.

Grows with Your Baby

One of my favorite features: the adjustable mattress base. In the early days, you can have it set higher so you don't have to bend down too far. And when your little one starts sitting and standing, just lower it for added safety. Later on, you can even remove one side of the crib to turn it into a cozy toddler bed. It's built to grow with your child, which I love.

Built with Care

The materials feel solid and safe — a nice mix of beech wood and sturdy fiberboard. The finish is smooth, easy to wipe clean, and holds up well over time (especially during those teething phases when everything becomes a chew toy). There's also a ventilated base that keeps airflow moving and creates a comfy sleep environment.

My Take

I spotted the GONATT crib on a recent IKEA trip and was genuinely impressed. The drawer was bigger than I expected, and the whole crib felt really solid and well thought out. I browsed a few other kids' beds while I was there too (yes, I took photos!) — and honestly, IKEA's nursery range just keeps getting better.
