It's ironic that I created this animation about 8 years ago to pitch the concept to IKEA (I was never paid). Understand, I'm a freelancer and do not work for (or with) IKEA or any of their partners. I still can't believe this hasn't caught on yet. I still do animations (better now) for clients, but it will grow. A few years back, SAP bought the Software that I used for this example, now called Visual Enterprise Author. So the force is strong, but still lots to standardize for this technology to push forward. It will happen...
Perhaps the only component missing is a pause between each step, the user would tap the screen on the viewing device after completing each step, watch the next one and continue work.
@@debballonThanks! Is this thing still going? And it could be done so much better today. I've moved on to SoulPedal.com for some real fun. I gave up on Corp greed and short-term thinking. I only trust Tesla or SpaceX now.
SO awesome! Made my life just that much easier! Thanks! Ikea should totally do this... I just assembled a dresser and their directions were incredibly hard to follow!
You're welcome! Ya know, if I weren't tied up making SoulPedal, I'd make more of these and just collect from TH-cam. Over 200K hits for this one bed! That's crazy...
You can order the screws from Ikea. Tell them them the part #s you are missing. Here is the instructions with the info.www.ikea.com/gb/en/assembly_instructions/svaerta-loft-bed-frame-silver-colour__AA-699878-14.pdf
I've just got this bed and put it together and it seems kind of wobbly (along the length of the bed, not the width). Is that normal? Do I need to tighten things?
+James Abrahams you can fix it to the wall, will help a little while, then the bed will loose up a bit. You need to tight it up once in a while with the allen key.
You're more helpful than IKEA themselves. There link is broken to download the pdf assemble instructions. Just called them and was shocked at the lack of support. Really did just say"can't help"
Thanks. I'm losing hope in anyone doing instructions this way in the future. "Training" will forever be a cost that CEO's cut for a pay raise. Glad it went to good use for someone!
@@soulpedal for What It's Worth although I'm not at your level but i used to design standard operations from multi-million pound company and I had an idea like this several years ago and they just washed me away like a bad smell.
@@soulpedal but for what it's worth thank you very much as you did make my job a lot easier today very clear very organised very detailed instructions... huge pat on the back.
@@Drewster10 Thanks a bunch. This is really old, better ones now. Doing many for FlockFree. Gave up on IKEA. Cut costs on training gives a better bonus check for the CEO.
Hello. I‘m planning to create an interactive product and I found this video. It’s been 10 years so I wonder how it’s not a product yet! I wonder if Ikea sues me if I create a website or app for this :)
Good luck there. I think everyone has tried this at one time. Instructables or TH-cam, people cannot measure the value of quality information - until missing or not clear and mistakes are made. FYI, I don't do this anymore although I did enjoy it. Change is slow here and without an actual $ value, it's going nowhere sadly.
My husband was up all night trying to put the"STUVA" loft bed together from ikea.A friend gave it to me.My girl has always wanted a loft bed.. Guess she will have to wait a bit longer !
Hi does anyone know the size of screws they use I'm missing the ones for the outside and for the thing the mattress sits on the the bar I need all them screws but don't know what they r called or size
It's been years since I did this animation, sorry IDK. But that information would have been a good idea to add in the clip, and got me thinking. There's an inherent cost in maintaining this media, like to update this video for example. True, quicker than reshooting a video blah blah blah. Trouble is, corporations can't justify this cost with any money saved simply because it is extremely hard to measure the true point of failure, and oftentimes not until after the failure occurs... everywhere. Humans error is often the cause yet reported as an issue with the product. Nobody really knows if all the screws were in your box - and let's face it, how tight is "Hand Tight?" So the corporation decides it's the Engineer's problem to make it idiot proof. They may even need to spend $10K making an improved product, pissing off customers, and adding to overall waste. Meanwhile, TH-cam took off (this animation is pretty old), so everyone consolidated to that platform and just threw together cheap and dirty demos. Wow, that method was so cheap, corps went the other way and downsized their training/media groups. Now we're in an era where you figure stuff out on your own, and when a bunch of people complain, someone publishes the solution for some more clicks. Very few leaders understand the advantages of clarity from the start. I know when I release my product, things will be quite clear. The need did not disappear. One business would have a distinct advantage over it's competition. I do think that spark is possible but only if corporation start thinking longer-term. Good luck with your beds everyone. I actually cringe at the graininess of this video everytime I see it. But we can't replace videos and I'm making a statement of fact with this one example by the unusually high numbers of people visiting. Anyway, check out SoulPedal® in Jan '22 at NAMM. New passion of mine.
Sorry, no plans there. Making SoulPedal now. I can't believe this video is still being used. The fact that IKEA chose not to change is a shame. At least for the high volume products... I think they'd sell more. ROI is good. Oh well.
my mother took my kids bunk bed apart while I was at work (I'm moving) but too no pictures, is not here and doesn't remember how/ where everything goes... I'm watching all these videos to help me. However, all these videos are for IKEA... I don't have IKEA beds, NOT helpful :( idk how in the world I'm going to get my needs together
Great tutorial

SoulPedal thanks for this I used it to put the bed together and when I sold it I send this video to them

LIFE SAVER! Time saver! Ikea should totally take this up.
@@debballonThanks! Is this thing still going? And it could be done so much better today. I've moved on to SoulPedal.com for some real fun. I gave up on Corp greed and short-term thinking. I only trust Tesla or SpaceX now.
Thank you! I used it to construct, and now deconstruct this bed. Very grateful it was here - subscribed to say thank you!
SO awesome! Made my life just that much easier! Thanks! Ikea should totally do this... I just assembled a dresser and their directions were incredibly hard to follow!
You saved my life.bought the bed from my friends and did not revived the instructions 😤so tank you
You're welcome! Ya know, if I weren't tied up making SoulPedal, I'd make more of these and just collect from TH-cam. Over 200K hits for this one bed! That's crazy...
OMG HAVE LITERALLY BEEN SEEKING FOR A MONTH FOR THIS
How can I get just the screws I need? I only have the bars no screws

Thank you! This is great!
Thank you so much.
that was pretty cool! what bed is this?

James no. it's like that.

very cool ! What software to create this amazing animation video ?
I'm having a lot of trouble with step 6. The holes don't seem to be lining up. If this happened to anyone else can you answer with your solution
same... did u figure it out?
cool story bro
what about the desk and shelf ???????????????????????????????
Sorry, no plans there. Making SoulPedal now.
I can't believe this video is still being used. The fact that IKEA chose not to change is a shame. At least for the high volume products... I think they'd sell more. ROI is good. Oh well.
This is amazing. Thanks!
Great help, thanks
Can someone pls tell me the type of Allen wrench it uses bc I can’t find mine and I’m moving out so idk what to do 😭😭
do you know what the name of this bed is?? or where I can find it???
@@MichelleYYang I think you can just get the parts at IKEA. They have bins full of them near the front of the store.
Good video
Thanks, it's pretty old now, but I think they still sell these.
my mother took my kids bunk bed apart while I was at work (I'm moving) but too no pictures, is not here and doesn't remember how/ where everything goes... I'm watching all these videos to help me.
