Assembly Steps:
- Unpack and Identify Parts: Carefully unpack all components and lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches. Refer to the parts list in your package to identify each piece.
- Assemble the Metal Frames: Begin by connecting the vertical metal frame pieces using the provided screws. Pay attention to the orientation of the pieces as indicated in the diagrams.
- Attach X-shaped Railings: Secure the X-shaped railings to the back of the metal frame sections. These provide additional stability and structural integrity.
