Setup and Assembly
Assembly is designed to be straightforward. It is recommended to assemble the bed frame in the room where it will be used. Two people may be helpful for certain steps.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches.
- Assemble Frame Corners: Attach the side rails to the headboard and footboard frames using the provided bolts and the ratchet tool. Ensure all connections are snug but do not overtighten initially.
- Install Center Support: Secure the center support beam to the pre-drilled holes on the headboard and footboard frames. Attach any additional support legs to the center beam if included.
- Tighten All Bolts: Once the main frame is assembled, go back and fully tighten all bolts to ensure stability.
- Place Wood Slats: Unroll the wood slats onto the assembled frame. The slats are typically connected by a strap and may have adhesive tape to prevent mattress movement. Ensure the slats are evenly spaced and secured.
- Headboard Compatibility (Optional): If attaching a headboard, use the predrilled holes in two of the legs. Ensure your headboard is standard-sized and compatible.
