IKEA GONATT Crib with Drawer 304.670.87 review

IKEA · U.S. article 304.670.87 · full-size crib with drawer

GONATT pairs a full-size crib with a lower storage drawer, but its tall frame and low underframe space are as important to the fit decision as the drawer itself. IKEA lists the assembled frame at 53 1/2 inches long, 29 1/2 inches wide and 44 1/8 inches high. The drawer is described as a separate under-crib storage area on runners with a stop; it is not another sleeping mode.

Storage dimensions and installation plan

The product page lists a 50 3/8-inch interior drawer width and 26 3/4-inch interior depth, with 1 5/8 inches of free height below the crib. IKEA does not provide a drawer-load rating in the measurements reviewed, so no safe storage weight is inferred here. The small gap beneath the frame is not room for a conventional storage tote unless its dimensions happen to clear it. Before assembly, measure the floor, nearby furniture and the drawer’s pull-out route. A drawer that opens into a walkway may not be useful in the intended location.

Article 304.670.87 is supplied in three packages, and the manufacturer specifically says two people are needed for assembly. This affects delivery and room planning: count the packages, keep the instructions available and do not assume that one assembled item arrives as a single manageable carton. The mattress is a standard 27 1/2-by-52-inch full-size crib mattress, sold separately.

Crib arrangement and later change

GONATT’s base has two positions. The manufacturer describes one side that can be removed when the child is big enough to climb into or out of the crib, and says a conversion kit is included. It also describes a ventilated base and a drawer with runners and a built-in stop. IKEA’s safety directions say to lower the base to the lowest level once the child can sit up independently. The linked AA-2261432-4 manual is specific to this article; check it for the actual sequence and parts before buying a used or open-box offer.

These product statements do not establish that a retailer’s package contains every rail and fitting, especially when the frame has been disassembled before. The article page explicitly separates the mattress and bed linen from the crib offer. A photograph of a dressed crib or a product comparison card cannot establish a mattress inclusion.

Where GONATT differs

Within the IKEA subset, GONATT and MYLLRA are the two cribs with a drawer. MYLLRA is wider at 31 1/8 inches and has three stated base positions; GONATT is 29 1/2 inches wide, lists two positions and specifies a two-person assembly requirement. Their drawer dimensions are not directly interchangeable: GONATT gives a broad interior width and depth, whereas MYLLRA gives its own dimensions and a 33-pound drawer load limit. Do not transfer that load rating to GONATT.

The 44 1/8-inch overall height is the tallest listed height among these IKEA examples. It may affect the adult’s working posture, but the page does not say how the finished height interacts with a particular mattress thickness or caregiver. Use the manual’s mattress and placement directions; the listed frame height alone cannot answer that question.

Assessment

GONATT suits a search for a full-size crib with under-crib storage and an included conversion kit, provided the household has room for the frame and drawer movement. Its article number, mattress, package count and two-person assembly note are practical checks, not minor footnotes. The page does not give a drawer-load rating, document wheels, or describe a mini/bassinet mode. Confirm the 304.670.87 offer and contents and keep the exact instructions before assembly.
