Problem solved, The drawers did not fit in the rails because during assembly, the white discs were forgotten. Step 12 of the assembly plan. The white washers allow the rail to be offset. There are 12 washers.

You have to take this rail with you from Ikea's warehouse, but it is included in the price, if you go to Ikea, just say that you did not take the middle rail made of stainless steel with you, you will get the rail then determined .l.g .ps On delivery it is automatically danei, if you pick it up yourself you have to take care of fetching it from the warehouse.

It is a very complex product to assemble, I had to have the instructions on paper and on the computer screen to be able to enlarge the image as much as possible. Finally, after many hours I managed it, with help, one person alone is impossible, but the drawers do not close completely because the screws that come for the rails have very fat heads so if they protrude a millimeter, the reissues of drawers collide and cannot be inserted.

This indicates right and left. Make sure that the wheels are at the bottom and not at the top so that you can then insert your drawers. I had mounted them indifferently because I did not understand CR and CL either and then I had to reassemble. Nothing serious it can happen in the end if you are wrong

Can I use a double mattress on a double bed with an individually adjustable slatted bed base? Verified

What is the difference between a bed frame and a box spring? Verified

A bed frame only holds a mattress, but offers no damping or other form of comfort. A box spring is a mattress carrier that is filled with metal coils. The space between the coils provides extra ventilation. On top of the box spring you add a mattress and possibly a mattress topper. The combination of a box spring and mattress gives a good distribution of weight and good ventilation.

What is the difference between a wooden and a metal bed frame? Verified

Wooden bed frames are usually sturdier than metal bed frames. This means that with a metal bed frame, the strength must be checked more often and the screws must be tightened more often.
