5. Attach Safety Rails and Ladder: Install the safety rails around the perimeter of the upper bunk. Securely attach the side ladder to the designated points on the bunk bed frame.

6. Final Tightening: Once all components are in place and aligned, go back and fully tighten all screws and bolts. Do not overtighten, but ensure all connections are firm and secure. Check the bed for stability before use.

5. Operating Instructions

This vidaXL Metal Bunk Bed is designed for sleeping and resting.

• Place a compatible mattress (90 x 200 cm) on each bunk.
• Ensure the ladder is stable and properly engaged before climbing to the upper bunk.
• Do not jump on the bed or engage in rough play on or around the bunk bed.
• Keep the area around the ladder clear of obstructions.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your bunk bed.

• Cleaning: Wipe the metal surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or solvents, as these can damage the powder-coated finish.
• Inspections: Periodically check all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten any loose fasteners to maintain structural integrity and safety.
• Damage: If any part of the bed frame becomes bent, broken, or otherwise damaged, discontinue use immediately and contact vidaXL for replacement parts or advice.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your bunk bed, refer to the following common solutions:

• Bed feels unstable after assembly: Ensure all screws and bolts are fully tightened. If instability persists, carefully disassemble and reassemble the affected sections, paying close attention to alignment and ensuring all parts are correctly seated.
• Squeaking noises: Check all connection points and tighten any loose bolts. Applying a small amount of lubricant (e.g., silicone spray) to metal-on-metal contact points can also help reduce noise.
• Missing parts or hardware: If you find that parts or hardware are missing from your package, please contact vidaXL customer support immediately. Provide your model number (287911) and a detailed description of the missing components for assistance.
