Sorry! Just saw this!
You have to take the top deck part of the bunk off to find the screws. I used a selection of smallish pry bars to do the job. The plywood is simply nailed in and I pulled the nails out with pliers. The frame of the bunk is screwed in with a couple of different length square-drive screws. Once I cut the frame down and trimmed up one of the boards for the storage area deck, it went back in easily enough.
For the screw holes, I simply used some sandpaper to smooth them out and a little bit of sand colored silicone caulk to fill the holes. If you are in the pod and know where to look the locations can still be seen, but you really can't see them at a glance.
The corner trim does have to be removed and mine split pretty badly when it came off the wall, so I replaced it as part of the mod. Home Depot has a cherry colored vinyl-wrapped plastic series of trim that matches our colors almost perfectly!
