Thank you very much! IKEA instructions not clear, so I went to YouTube and found your vid. Very helpful. I’m a petit/small woman with a vision impaired husband to help me to hold the sides and tighten the screws. Thanks a lot for sharing how to assemble the bed

I'm not sure why Ikea doesn't have assembly videos on YouTube and a QR code linking them on the booklet. Great, clear and concise instructions man. Thank you!

I spent 8 hours installing incorrectly and taking apart again and again… I finally decided to YouTube it and can I just say.. THANK YOU! you were my saving grace 😭😭 finished it quickly and correctly. IKEA picture “instructions” are a JOKE 😩

I recently bought the Bomstad version of the Slattum (the black fake leather version), and I assembled it before watching this video. I must say I was a little bit surprised how easy the assembly was, although I assemble all kinds of furniture for my job (not IKEA). After looking at the manual for a couple of minutes I began assembling it. Most of it went the same as your instruction with a couple of exceptions:

1) After assembling the legs to the headboard and footboard I immediately added the hooks for the wooden slats. This way you can put in the screw sideways instead of underneath, which is slightly easier.

2) Right after assembling the legs to the headboard and foodboard I added anti-scratch felt to protect my laminated floor. This is not included in the package and is an optional step, but this is easier to add at this stage than when you're done assembling the entire bed.

3) When assembling the middle legs I didn't tighten the screws all the way. This way it's easier to later assemble the sidepanels. After assembling the sidepanels I tightened the screws of the middle legs.

4) This part is up to the person who assembles the bed, but both your method and mine work just as well. After sliding in the middel legs to the headboard I chose to slide in the footboard into the rest of the bed before lowering/tilting the bed onto it's legs.

I also have a tip for installing the sidepanels: Do not tighten the screws immediately. First screw all of them in a little bit and after that you can tighten them. When tightening the screws make sure the sidepanels are level with each other.

I have the bed for a couple of weeks now and I have to say it's really sturdy. Also the Bomstad version of the Slattum looks fancier and is easier to clean (the normal Slattum is made with polyester cloth).

This tutorial video is really good, especially for people that find it hard to read manuals (I can't blame them, some manuals really are boobytrapped puzzles).

This was extremely helpful!! We built the bed in 2 hours!! I don’t know how long it would’ve taken with the Ikea instructions. Thanks so much!!!

Decided to find a video before building cause I already messed up two ikea furniture. Thank you, you made it seem so easy and it definitely helped. It took me and my partner around 1 hour 😁

Yet another person with a bed thanks to you. Thanks for saving me from having to read Ikea instructions

[ceciliaguerrero]

Impeccable, perfectly explained, it's wonderful to ve these videos, IKEA should facilitate this kind of video tutorials and not those drawings of yesteryear that make you look like the same doll on each furniture s item at the beginning until the end. Thank y0u! Congrats for your useful &great channel!! you already ve one more follower! 🙌🏻
