Question from GREENDAD2B

Debra – you rock. Just interested as to why the Ikea Sniglar is okay in your book, given the fiberboard. Hoping you have a great explanation so I can buy it and be happy that it’s not only the offspring of the wealthy who get to breathe clean air. Thanks

Debra’s Answer

I saw this crib at IKEA. The frame is solid wood. The fiberboard is the platform on which the mattress sits. I don’t believe it is particleboard. There are many different types of “fiberboard.”

I don’t have a crib in front of me at the moment to look at it again. But even if it is particleboard, that platform could easily be replaced and the crib is very inexpensive.
