4. Setup and Assembly

Assembly of this bunk bed is required. Please follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the separate assembly manual included with your purchase. It is recommended to have at least two adults for assembly.

• Step-by-Step: Follow the diagrams and written instructions carefully. Do not overtighten screws until instructed, as this can damage the wood.

5. Operating Instructions

Using the Bunk Beds

• Upper Bunk (Twin): Access the upper bunk using the integrated ladder/stairs. Ensure the mattress fits snugly within the guardrails.
• Lower Bunk (Full): The lower bunk provides a full-size sleeping area.

Using the Slide

• The slide is designed for recreational use. Ensure the area at the bottom of the slide is clear before use.
• Always slide feet first.
• Supervise young children during slide use.
• The slide can be removed if no longer needed or desired.

Utilizing Storage

• Storage Stairs: The integrated stairs feature shelves for books, toys, or decorative items.
• Under-bed Drawers: Two pull-out drawers under the lower bunk provide convenient storage for bedding, clothes, or other items.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or polishes that may damage the wood finish.
• Fasteners: Periodically check all bolts, screws, and other fasteners to ensure they are tight. Retighten as necessary to maintain stability and safety.
• Wood Care: Protect the wood from extreme temperature changes, direct sunlight, and excessive moisture.

7. Troubleshooting

Issue: Assembly is difficult, pieces are poorly marked, or screws don't fit.

Solution: Assembly can be time-consuming. Take your time and carefully compare each piece to the diagrams in the assembly manual. If a part seems incorrect, double-check its orientation or if it belongs to a different section. If parts are genuinely missing or defective, contact Harper & Bright Designs customer support for assistance.

Issue: The slide feels too steep or breaks easily.

Solution: The slide's angle is fixed by design. Ensure children are supervised and understand how to use it safely. If the slide component is damaged, discontinue use and contact customer support for replacement parts. Do not attempt to modify the slide's angle as this may compromise its structural integrity and safety.

Issue: The bed feels wobbly or makes squeaking noises.

Solution: This often indicates loose fasteners. Carefully go through all connections and tighten all bolts and screws. Do not overtighten, but ensure they are snug. Regular checks and tightening can prevent wobbling and squeaking.
