I have assembled countless Ikea things over the years. This was by far the hardest--the worst instructions ever! After assembling, disassembling, reassembling and then disassembling, I found this video. Thank you!
I thought I was alone! This one was epic! Things I needed weren’t all in the box 1 and so on etc same with box 2 😂 Got there eventually but didn’t flow seamlessly! 😢
Agreed, I’ve put together countless pieces from ikea. I’m not sure if it was just the useless paper instructions or the poor craftmanship of my particular flat pack but I’d the worst time lining up screws to barely there holes. I wore down 4 screws trying to tighten (reasonably) them. Was left short screws and had some extra black poppers for the slats. I’m so glad it’s over
When I was young, IKEA was the worst furniture to There was no reason to think thatI. It’s actually quality 😢. I have assembled a LOT of IKEA furniture over the years, and mostly it’s been quiet. Never missy’s part down to the screws and little plastic things. The assembly manual for this particular piece of furniture is really bad. This bed is a bit more complicated than other furniture. But if you get it right, it’s quite useful and will last forever.
I've just moved into a house and had to build this bed on my own. DIY is not my forte and the instructions were ?!??!?!? I could not have done it without your videos! Thank you so much. IKEA should employ you.
I speak Spanish. I found a Spanish tutorial from IKEA Spain and it was useless. You did a great job explaining how perfectly do this work done . Thank you very much, IKEA should pay you.
Here is Spanish version of my channel th-cam.com/channels/TOyZaILLUhUE1i63isYipA.html and here is thus video in Spanish th-cam.com/video/x-My-vhatXU/w-d-xo.html
I just finished assembling this using solely your videos, thank you! You saved me a ton of time and huge headache, got everything set up for my mom flying in to Germany tomorrow, cheers!
These videos were absolutely excellent!! I looked at the written instructions and then watched you do it. I didn't have one problem. And I would have if I hadn't watched your videos. Clear instructions, clear videos, easy to follow, Thank you so much.
Hello from Greece.I also made the bed yesterday.Your instructions were very useful!!I have only one problem.When the bed is closed, it stands on the back side on the two plastic things as should be, but from in front side, it steps on the wheels.When the bed is open -double, the it steps at all points , on the four plastics and the wheels.Did i do something wrong?
This video is excellent. I have assembled many Ikea items. This one is by far the wort-designed and worst assembly instructions ever. Your video is a must see, even for those like me that have assembled many other Ikea items. Thank much!
Before last week I had never put together any furniture. Having taken the plunge with an IKEA chest of drawers, and still needing a bed, I found these videos and decided the daybed looked 'doable'. It took me a long time but I have a real sense of achievement. Your videos were really helpful (tho I used the instructions as well). Thank you so much! I now feel confident about putting together just about anything from IKEA. Oh, and I did it solo as well.
Thank you so much! I actually hired someone on task rabbit who cancelled on me. Then I watched all three video first and was confident because of your clear directions and tips, I could do it. No frustration, no stress, I just did whatever you said 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This was the first time I used video instructions for IKEA assembly, and your instructions were really clear and made it very easy. Also the close-ups of the fittings (screws etc.) were helpful as I lost some but, thanks to you, I could identify which ones were missing and was then able to order the ones I needed from IKEA direct. Thank you!
Just want to say Thank you for this video. The instructions where so confusing! They where out of order and they repeated the first steps like on page 6 which really screwed me up even more!! That’s when I decided to look for help on TH-cam and found your video. Such a lifesaver and very clear introductions. Again THANK YOU! You are amazing.
Thank you for all three videos. It was a great way to make sure we understand the instructions correctly. Some steps are better to see on video than only in pictures. I recommend everybody to use this video as a helping hand. Thank you once again. 👍
Thanks for the great three part video . I’m a seventy year old woman and watching you 3 part video I now have the confidence to have a go at this cheers Jen
THANK YOU so much for this series of videos. Not only did I also have a small room (so I followed your building order), but I did as you instructed and didn't look at the instructions once -- thanks to the detail of your videos. THANK YOU!!
Thanks a lot! You've saved our day! My uncle is quite used to Ikea furniture but this one was a nightmare ! your tutorial came in very handy to place the bedspring! :*
Never a fan of ikea assembly manuals but this one was worst!!! So happy that i found your videos n every minute detail you mentioned helped me like anything. One suggestion though, if you could specify which drill head to use for which screw.. as that was my biggest headache. I ended up destroying some of the screws coz of wrong attachments. Thank you so so much 🙏🙏
You are a legend. Just followed your instructions to the T & Boom it is working seamless and smooth. Thanks for the detailed instructions, Keep going buddy 💪
Thank you so much for all 3 parts, it really helped! I finally completed assembling - it took me 1 week in total (few hours every day). I cannot believe it was so hard, but maybe because I had no prior experience with any furniture. Nevertheless I'm glad I can sleep peacefully now :)
Thank you for this helpful and informative video. It’s helped us a lots as we totally couldn’t understand the instructions in the picture provided. Luckily I found your video and we are in the midst of part 3. You did a great job sir
Great job you helped me a lot with putting my bed together. A friend put mine together previously, i was not involved, however i took mine apart and i have lost some screws along the way. Bummer. So the bed is together but the long pole the slats rest on i have no screws for that for either end, 2 screws at each end and i have yet to tackle the slats. I might be able to bodge it i think. Thanks again for the video, very helpful.
Thank you so much! After one look at the instructions and feeling afraid, I found your video. It was so helpful. We bought two beds, so the second must be a lot easier!
That was really helpful - thank you SO much! I do have a problem though... When the extension frame is pulled out the base frame is flat on the floor, but when I push the extension frame back into the base frame, the base frame raises up off the floor at the front. Would you have any idea why this is happening and how I should fix this ?
@@PPFlatPack It was indeed! I watched parts 2 and 3 again to work out which one was upside down (the front one in the extension bed), fixed it and now everything's fine. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question and once again, I really appreciate your clear and helpful videos.
Thank you so much. I have a problem though - the drawers won’t fit. They either are too high or one side is too high. I don’t know what to do. Can you please please please help?
@@seanfarrup1917 Oh the nails weren't really screwed in, had to use a drill, put pressure to make sure of depth so can be tighten and flat as it could be for easier to slide in
Hi.. Great videos, really good information and knowledge. Thank you for making them! Do you always work on your own, or you get helper for the biger items, like wardrobes or kitchens? take care
Usually working alone only on the bigger projects when time pressure working with more people. All Ikea items even big wardrobes are possible to doit alone. Thank you for watching ;)
11:50 - 11:57 : "the slots are not even... that's how it's suppose to be". THANK YOU SO MUCH !!

Seriously, why IKEA didn't wrote it somewhere in the instructions ??? Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Is it possible with this bed to add 3 mattresses 2 of them 200 x 40 and only open the extending portion halfway? Or if you do that the edge of the main parts slats has no support?
I have assembled countless Ikea things over the years. This was by far the hardest--the worst instructions ever! After assembling, disassembling, reassembling and then disassembling, I found this video. Thank you!
True, at least for instructions after 1995.

I think IKEA mostly use Pozidriv 2 in their furniture, I did not strip once with my Pozidriv bit on my screwdriver.
Thank you! Build the whole bed by myself just watching your videos ❤

Thanks for the clear description. Saved me quite some time.
That was really helpful - thank you SO much!
I do have a problem though...
When the extension frame is pulled out the base frame is flat on the floor, but when I push the extension frame back into the base frame, the base frame raises up off the floor at the front. Would you have any idea why this is happening and how I should fix this ?
Hard to say if I cant see it. But base on what you describe seems like one or more rails for slads are upside down
@@PPFlatPack It was indeed! I watched parts 2 and 3 again to work out which one was upside down (the front one in the extension bed), fixed it and now everything's fine.
Thank you for taking the time to answer my question and once again, I really appreciate your clear and helpful videos.
