hello dear all,

due to my current problem, I am new here as well.
it concerns the Brimnes bed and precisely point 31 in the instructions

there are screws with covering caps that are supposed to be screwed onto the right and left aluminum rails as well as the middle beam - assuming the left illustration

in the right illustration these are crossed out

photo 1 and 2 differ only in that one shows a slatted frame and the other does not.
um... but everyone needs/uses a slatted frame?!

can someone help me? I bought the Laxeby sprung slatted frame and because of the screws now installed, it does NOT rest on the rails but on the screws. common sense tells you this can’t be right, but... why do they exist?

does anyone have advice?
thank you very much!

Hello, the illustration in the manual is really stupid. In a slatted roll frame, the slats are only attached to one tape. To prevent the slats from sliding together, the spacing nipples are used.

oh, thank you!
I kind of thought the same, but you feel stupid when it's shown in a picture and you don't do it - despite knowing better.

I think, from time to time Ikea could really at least put a tiny sentence under the picture

Hello, I have exactly the same problem as you, but unfortunately I still haven't quite understood whether I need the screws now or if I can simply leave them out :/ I have the spring wood frame Lönset, so not a roll lattenrost... Would be great if you could briefly tell me whether I need the screws or not Thanks in advance
