Jennifer Jain | Ikea Stuva assembly - how to build the loft bed, in time lapse! @JenniferJain | Uploaded January 2018 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Watch us as we assemble the Ikea Stuva bed. We are two adults along with two smaller helpers that pop in and out. You'll see that you really do need two adults to put the Stuva together, there is a lot of heavy moving and lifting involved.
We have a reasonable amount of experience with building Ikea furniture and we didn't have too much trouble, although the assembly did take us most of the day. In fact there is no footage of the final stage, putting in the desk drawers, because it was completed in semi darkness while my daughter slept above us.
Although the bed is designed to fit into a smaller space you really do need quite a large area to build it, and make sure when you are building that you have enough space to rotate the bed around to where you need it - we nearly got it stuck at one point! It definitely needs to be built in the room that you intend to use it, and as far as I'm concerned if we ever move house it's staying behind - it certainly won't fit out the door let alone down the stairs!
We chose a configuration with the wardrobe on the inside and the desk out at an angle, as we were concerned that we didn't have enough space on the side to open the doors. As you can see we did have just enough room for a tall Ikea Trofast unit to the side. If you have the wardrobe doors facing outwards then the desk can fit directly underneath the bed, leaving more space in front.
This loft bed was the ideal solution for my daughter's smaller room. She's at the age now where she needs a desk in her bedroom, and this was a great way to fit one in. She really loves her new bed!
We also purchased a pink Stickat bed pocket which hangs over the side for her book and water bottle, and some Slakting inserts for the drawers to organise smaller items of clothing. We may also get some boxes for the shelves next to the wardrobe.
