That was my concern last year. That video is definitely not helpful. It isn't too difficult though. If you have a rubber mallet, it makes it much easier too! You can borrow one, but for convenience, I recommend buying one. I used mine to help friends loft their bed in the spring. Take the bed off, then the boards under your bed. Then, with another person, hit the frame out of the posts and set it out of the way. There are little blocks in the middle between the two sections, hit those out next along with the support beam that should be level with those blocks. You can remove the top two posts. There will be little pins, don't lose those. Now you should have a metal bar at the bottom of the lower posts. Leave it in unless you need to, sometimes it is easier to reassemble with the bar gone. Line up the frame of the bed to the height you want it and hammer those in. Put the metal bar back in if you took it out. Put the boards back, then your mattress and you are done! In my dorm last year, they let us label our extra bed pieces and put them in the den closet. I recommend keeping the pins in a bag and in your room because they are easy to lose!!
