    Man I wish I could buy you a beer. I knew about the arrows but I could not get it to come apart. I struggled with that bloody thing for an hour before deciding to go online and see if there was anyone smarter than me!

    I'm just here to say what everyone else is saying -- this video is an absolute life saver!
    With this video, it only took a few minutes to take the bed apart by myself. Without this video, I'm 100% certain I'd be having a bonfire in my bedroom right now.
    Thank you so much for creating this incredibly useful video!
