Assembly Bed 90x200

Hi everyone,

I'm feeling pretty exhausted and disappointed right now. I bought a bed online because it looked beautiful and fit perfectly with the vision I had for my room. The problem is that I've never lived alone before and I've never assembled furniture by myself.

Long story short, after five days of struggling with it, I've decided to get rid of it. I don't even know how I'm going to do that yet, but at this point I just need a new bed.

If anyone has bought a bed in these dimensions and found the assembly genuinely easy, I'd love to hear your recommendations. I'm looking for something with:

- Clear instructions

- Pre-drilled holes

- Minimal screwing and complicated steps

- Assembly that one person can realistically do alone

If you've personally bought a bed like this and would recommend it, please share the model or a link. I'd be incredibly grateful.

Thank you! :(

I would get the LYNGÖR bed base. It has a small amount of parts and few assembly steps. You end up with a sturdy bed. It's actually the same bed they use in the mattress showroom. https://www.ikea.com/de/de/p/lyngoer-bettpodest-mit-lattenrost-mit-bein-dunkelgrau-s99608278/

I would say the GLADSTAD is pretty much as simple as it gets.

All Ikea products have assembly instructions on the item page, so you can gauge difficulty before buying.

For another take: I have had great success with asking any acquaintance I think may be handy with tools to help out. Most bed-size pieces are difficult to handle singlehandedly.

I offered a meal, but really people have been happy to help.

Why not hire somebody to assemble?
