Setup & Assembly

Assembly typically takes less than an hour with the help of a friend. All necessary tools are included.

1. Unpack and Identify: Carefully unpack all components and lay them out on a clean, soft surface. Refer to the parts list to ensure all pieces are present.
2. Assemble Frame Sections: Connect the main metal frame sections using the provided bolts and the Allen wrench. Do not fully tighten bolts until all sections are loosely connected.
3. Attach Support Legs: Securely attach any central support legs to the frame.
4. Tighten All Bolts: Once the entire frame is assembled, go back and fully tighten all bolts to ensure stability.
5. Install Wooden Slats: Lay the wooden slats across the frame. The slats are designed to support your mattress directly, eliminating the need for a box spring. Ensure they are evenly spaced (approximately 3-3.4 inches apart) and secured if applicable.
