1. Step 1: Assemble the Bed Frame. Connect the bed posts to the side rails and end panels using the provided hardware. Ensure all connections are snug but do not overtighten until the frame is fully assembled.
2. Step 2: Attach the Ladder. Securely attach the ladder to the designated side of the bed frame using the specified bolts. Verify it is stable and does not wobble.
3. Step 3: Attach the Slide. Mount the slide to the opposite side of the bed frame, following the instructions for secure attachment. Ensure all fasteners are tight and the slide is stable.
4. Step 4: Install Bed Slats. Place the bed slats across the bed frame. Secure them if required by the design (e.g., with screws or plastic caps).
5. Step 5: Final Tightening. Once the entire bed is assembled, go back and firmly tighten all bolts and screws. Do not overtighten to avoid stripping threads or damaging wood.
6. Step 6: Mattress Placement. Place a suitable mattress on the bed slats. Ensure the mattress height does not compromise the effectiveness of the guardrails.
