Assemble Bed Frames: Begin by assembling the individual twin bed frames according to the included diagrams. This typically involves attaching side rails to headboards and footboards.
Integrate Storage and Desk Units: Position and secure the Captain's Storage Drawers unit and the integrated desk unit as per the L-shaped configuration. These units form part of the bed's structural support.
Install Slats: Place and secure the bed slats onto the support rails for each bunk. Ensure they are evenly spaced and firmly attached.
Attach Ladders: Securely attach the two ladders to their designated positions on the bunk bed structure.
Install Guardrails: Attach the guardrails to the upper bunk to prevent falls. Verify they are at the correct height above the mattress.
Final Tightening: Once all components are in place and aligned, systematically tighten all bolts and screws. Do not overtighten.
Safety Check: Perform a final safety check, ensuring all connections are secure and the bed is stable.

6. Care and Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your bunk bed.

Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the brown cherry wood finish.
Hardware Check: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) inspect all bolts, screws, and connections. Re-tighten any loose hardware to maintain structural integrity and safety.
Wood Care: Protect the wood finish from direct sunlight and extreme temperature changes. Use coasters under drinks to prevent water rings.
Drawer Maintenance: Keep drawer guides clean and free of debris. Do not force drawers if they stick.
