Is a cabinet a necessity? I'd like to hide the bed behind a curtain when not in use until we get around to building a cabinet.

Yes, you need the cabinet as the piston lift mechanism mounts to the side walls of the cabinet and the mattress sits inside the front of the cabinet. See the youtube video at youtube dot com slash embed slash ResnmRuLIN4

It is not necessary but door will swing back & forth into wall w/o it. We had carpet under door so installed the small guide on bracket attached to doorway trim behind it, so concealed and works like charm. Great build quality hardware - smooth operation.

Yes! But it's kind of junky looking. We ended up not putting the drawer in because I wanted to use my crib skirt, which you can't really with the drawer. And if you choose the drawer, then the sides show which are unfinished wood. Loving our crib, but without the drawer.

It might work to hide a TV, however you would have to not connect the shelves on the inside or the back panel. In addition to that the drawers on the bottom are made of sawdust, very weak, and won't hold many clothes. This is a poorly made product that would last you 2-5 years at most. And it takes forever to set up because they gave you a ton of pieces.

it is for manufacture and shipping only to protect the stainless steel finish before the consumer gets it. The cabinet will work better without it.

Just like any cabinet/drawer yes. Depending on the hardware you might have a hole to fill and hide with magic marker or something.

Yes, you can use the cabinet without the shelves. As I recall the middle shelf can be adjusted.

No. Under the bench needs to be open. It has been a bit inconvenient. If you try to mount to something with a cabinet under it, it won't have clearance.

I have folded mine to see if under the bed storage would be feasible and in my case it was.However, in my case, I've found it more convenient to leave it set-up and positioned in an out-of-the-way corner of my bedroom - which is relatively spacious.

You will need a way to vent the air out of the cabinet. You can point the device and in any direction to direct the air in a certain way, but you will need to vent it. Truthfully, you should have an intake and exhaust. A direction for air to enter and exit, otherwise you are still putting your equipment at risk.

Totally depends on how much room you have. If it doesn't take up the whole depth of cabinet, there is room to put seldom used items behind it.

The bottom bed is required for the structure. If you are handy, it is possible to create a loft look with the bed, you would need to be able to secure all four corners of the top bed. If you didnt want to take that bottom bed apart, then you can easily go to a store to purchase woods and make your own posts to secure the top bunk.

It's not needed and would make the bed very high. Just use good mattresses.

I would say it's optional. To some, the bed might seem too low without a box spring, but if you have a good mattress you won't need a box spring.

It is a hard background, I would recommend not pinning anything to the back of the cabinet as it may ruin the look of it. The backing is a piece of wood, not cork-board.

You could put the cabinet together without the X section. It is not required for structural integrity.
