IKEA has officially begun phasing out the beloved MALM series, replacing it with a new and safer alternative: STORKLINTA. But what exactly is different between these two lines of bedroom furniture? Here's everything you need to know if you're considering a switch or just curious about the change.
SMÅSTAD Changing Table from IKEA

As new parents, finding the right changing table can make all the difference in your daily routine. The SMÅSTAD changing table from IKEA offers a comfortable height for changing your baby and practical storage space within close reach. With additional features that allow it to be repurposed as a desk for homework or creative play, the SMÅSTAD changing table is a versatile and sustainable choice for parents.

Comfortable Height for Changing Your Baby
The SMÅSTAD changing table is designed with the comfort of both parent and child in mind. Its height is ideal for standing or sitting while changing your baby, reducing strain on your back and arms. The changing table's surface is also easy to clean, ensuring that your baby stays hygienic and healthy.

Practical Storage Space within Close Reach
With three spacious drawers and a fixed shelf, the SMÅSTAD changing table provides plenty of storage space for all your baby's essentials. The drawers are easy to open and close, and the fixed shelf can be attached to either side of the table. This allows you to keep everything you need within arm's reach, so you can always keep one hand on your baby.

Repurposing the SMÅSTAD Changing Table
When your child no longer needs diapers, the SMÅSTAD changing table can be easily converted into a desk for homework or creative play. By lowering the top shelf, you can transform the changing table into a functional workspace that your child can use for years to come. This makes the SMÅSTAD changing table a smart investment for parents who want a piece of furniture that will grow with their child.

Sustainable Materials and Design
The SMÅSTAD changing table is also designed with sustainability in mind. To reduce waste and make use of as much of the tree as possible, IKEA has used sawmill leftovers and scrap wood in the particle boards for the SMÅSTAD furniture line. This means that your purchase of the SMÅSTAD changing table is not only practical but also environmentally responsible.

SMÅSTAD Bookcase: Perfect Companion Piece
For even more storage space and versatility, the SMÅSTAD bookcase is the perfect companion piece to the changing table. With open shelves for display and drawers for storing items of all sizes, the bookcase can be used from infancy to teenage years. Its compact design allows it to fit into small spaces, making it an ideal addition to any nursery or child's room.

Assembly and Customer Feedback
The SMÅSTAD changing table and bookcase are easy to assemble with the included instructions and required tools. According to customer reviews, the furniture is durable, practical, and stylish. Parents appreciate the design features that make changing their baby easier and the sustainable materials used in the product's construction.
Conclusion
The SMÅSTAD changing table and bookcase from IKEA offer a practical and sustainable solution for parents looking for baby furniture. With its comfortable height, practical storage space, and versatility, the SMÅSTAD changing table is an investment that will last for years. By choosing the SMÅSTAD furniture line, you can feel good about making a responsible choice for your family and the environment.
