- Assemble Upper Bed Frame: Assemble the twin-sized upper bed frame, including its side rails, headboard, and footboard.
- Install Upper Slats and Guardrails: Securely install the slats and ensure all guardrails are firmly attached to the upper bunk.
- Attach Ladder: Securely attach the ladder to the designated position on the upper bunk.
- Position Upper Bunk: With assistance, carefully lift and position the assembled upper bunk onto the lower bed frame, ensuring all connection points are aligned and secured.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Using the Bunk Bed Configuration
The Mera Twin Over Full Bunk Bed is designed for efficient space utilization, providing two sleeping surfaces and integrated storage.
- Upper Bed: Accommodates one twin-sized mattress (maximum 6 inches thick). Ensure guardrails are always in place.
- Lower Bed: Accommodates one full-sized mattress (6-8 inches thick).
- Ladder: Use the ladder for safe access to the upper bunk. Do not climb on the guardrails or other parts of the bed.
- Storage Drawers: The two under-bed drawers provide convenient storage for bedding, clothes, or other items. Pull them out gently for access and push them back fully when not in use.
5.2 Separating the Bunk Beds
This bunk bed can be separated into two independent beds: one twin bed and one full bed with storage drawers. This feature offers flexibility as your needs change.
- Remove Mattresses: Remove both the twin and full mattresses from the beds.
- Disassemble Upper Bunk: Carefully detach the upper twin bunk from the lower full bed frame. This typically involves unscrewing connection points. It is recommended to have two adults for this step.
- Reconfigure: The lower full bed with drawers can be used as a standalone bed. The upper twin bed can be reassembled with its own legs (if provided, refer to the specific assembly instructions for separation) to form a separate twin bed.
- Secure All Connections: Ensure all components of both separated beds are securely fastened before use.

6. Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the bed frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish. For spills, blot immediately with a clean cloth.
- Hardware Check: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) check all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain structural integrity and safety.
- Avoid Excessive Moisture: Protect the wood from prolonged exposure to moisture or extreme temperature changes, which can cause warping or cracking.
- Weight Distribution: Ensure weight is distributed evenly on both bunks. Avoid jumping on the beds.
