1. Setup and Assembly
The Jennifer Taylor Home Edgar Channel Sofa Bed requires assembly. Please ensure all components are present before beginning. It is recommended to assemble the unit on a soft, clean surface to prevent damage.
1.1 Unpacking and Component Identification
Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Verify that all hardware and components listed in your packing list are accounted for. Keep packaging materials until assembly is complete to ensure no small parts are discarded.
1.2 Assembly Steps
- Attach Side Panels: Connect the side panels to the main back panel using the provided hardware. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Install Slats: Place the wooden slats across the frame. These provide support for the mattress. Ensure they are evenly spaced and securely fastened if applicable.
- Attach Legs: Securely attach the four main legs to the base of the sofa bed. Ensure they are tightened firmly to provide stability. Additional support legs for the center may also need to be attached.
Important Note: During assembly, if you encounter any misaligned pre-drilled holes, do not force components. This can lead to damage and instability. If a solution cannot be found, contact customer support for assistance. It may be necessary to adjust or omit a screw in rare cases, but this should be a last resort and may affect stability.
