Looking for a reasonably priced alternative to the Ikea Malm bed?  West Elm has you covered.  Their Chunky Wood Bed Frame is made of solid wood, with a pine-slat base for your mattress to rest on.  The wide and low design mates clean lines with a great color selection (we prefer chocolate).  This editor was able to assemble it with no assistance in less than an hour.  Weighing in at less than $400, you no longer have an excuse to be sleeping on your old college futon.  West Elm Chunky Wood Bed Frame
