Setup and Assembly

Assembly typically requires two people and can be completed in under an hour. Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the manual found within the headboard.

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the zippered compartment in the headboard. Lay them out on a clean, soft surface.
2. Assemble Frame: Connect the side rails to the headboard and footboard using the provided hardware. Ensure all connections are secure.
3. Install Center Support: Attach the center support beam and legs to the frame.
4. Place Slats: Unroll and position the wooden slats across the frame. The slats are designed to support your mattress directly, eliminating the need for a box spring. They are spaced between 2.7 - 3.2 inches apart.
