Step 2: Secure a 2×4 to the wall aligned with the top of the Malm chests. (To make it easier to get the correct height, push the 3-drawer chest against the wall temporarily.)

Step 3: Rest the bedframe on the wall 2×4 and the Malm chests. Place the bedframe on top of the Malm chests so that there is room to roll the Stuva under at the foot of the bed. Secure the bedframe to the wall using a 1×4. Add slates to the bedframe.
