Hello everyone, I hope someone here can help me with a specific question. I recently bought an Ikea Hemnes bed and want to assemble it not only quickly but also securely. My goal is to follow the instructions as best as possible, but I’m uncertain about some steps, especially when it comes to connecting the side panels with the headboard and footboard. I’ve heard that you shouldn’t just tighten all the screws right away, but that there is a certain sequence or technique to ensure the bed is stable and not wobbly in the long run. Does anyone have experience or tips on how to assemble the Hemnes bed quickly yet solidly? Maybe also advice on tools or helpers that are particularly useful? Thanks in advance!

One last tip: Use a small square or a bevel gauge during assembly to align the side panels at right angles to each other. This greatly helps prevent wobbling later on.

It is recommended to start with the corners

I completely agree. Also: insert the provided wall plugs before you tighten the screws slightly. Otherwise, nothing will fit exactly. Only when everything fits properly should you fully tighten the screws. Stability comes from precise fitting connections, not from over-tightening screws.
