Has anyone been able to take off the side rail when taking the beds apart? From what I can see it can't be done but I'm not very good at this stuff.

Yes, if you hold on to the wrench provided or have an Allen wrench of your own its very easy to take them back off afterwards or for deconstruction.

I haven't tried yet, but seeing as you put it on, after putting the bed together, it should come off when taking the bed apart

I don't have mine open now, but recall that the secret was to remove more screws and wires, which I think allowed separating the desired section. I initially tried what looked like the easy way with just a few screws, but the opening was not large enough to take it out that way, because protruding parts prevented mine from sliding out. If that's not clear enough, I can open mine again to refresh my memory.

You could leave them off. There's a middle leg as well for added support of the rails so I'm not sure what would happen if that wasn't on. It's a great bed. I love it

No, you can't. What you do is change the level of the mattress but not the side rail

Same here. I have a platform bed frame with no side support at all and I have no problem at all. I hope this helps.

It would be easy to remove as it is assembleb. However would probably impact the stability of the side legs!!

I had the same experience at the beginning, but I took it apart and looked at the directions again. they are not the clearest but once I figured how it should go, it turned out well and it's a great bed. sturdy and unshakable. good make and great deal. good luck

The rail comes off! I don't see it being an issues being confined on all sides but I don't want to answer that question for sure.

I'm sure you figured it out by now but the housing, at least for me, was tough to get off. Someone suggested a gear puller which would seem like a great way (maybe the proper way) to do it. Not having a gear puller, I wound up using a couple small wrenches as levers on either side of the housing and popped it off that way.

Yes they can. My husband removed the 2 screws on the side rail and we were able to take it out.

Take four bolts out were it attaches to the bed rail and you can remove it from there. It would take about 10 minutes

The slide needs to be on for stability. If you remove it then the bed isn't stable (as per instructions).

Long pieces go between the mattress and springs and the maker's intention is that you tie the ends down for security. If you do that then removing it is a bit much. You buy the bed....you don't make it!! Seriously...no problem unless you are very fussy about bed making.

Bed is great. The only problem is the two pieces of particle board that they use for the main support. We just found out during the week that it is starting to break so now over the weekend we have to go switch out the particle board for real wood. Other than that we haven't had any problems with the bed. Its not like its a metal or normal frame that moves, so you don't get any noises from it. Drawers pull out without any problems and noises as well.

The headboard is a separate piece but it is an integral/structural part of the bed. Not using it would require fairly significant modification.

Yes. Very easy to separate. No tools necessary. As stated by SEC123, the rails on the top bunk do not come apart. I actually call it a nice feature because my children are 2 and 5 and it's safer.
