This bunk bed offers two assembly options, allowing you to position the entire lower half of the bunk bed, including the slide, on either the left or right side of the main structure. Choose the configuration that best suits your room layout before starting assembly.

4.3. Detailed Assembly Steps (Refer to your included diagrammatic instructions for specific part numbers and hardware)

1. Assemble the Lower Bed Frame: Connect the lower bed side rails to the headboard and footboard using the specified hardware. Ensure all connections are snug but do not fully tighten yet.
2. Assemble the Upper Bed Frame: Construct the upper bed frame similarly, connecting the upper side rails to the headboard and footboard sections.
3. Attach House Structure: Secure the roof and window panels to the upper bed frame according to the diagrams.
4. Connect Upper and Lower Sections: Carefully lift the assembled upper bed frame and house structure onto the lower bed frame, aligning the connection points. Secure with the appropriate bolts. This step requires at least two people.
5. Install Ladder: Attach the ladder to the designated side of the upper bunk. Ensure it is firmly secured and stable.
6. Install Slide: Attach the slide to the designated opening. Verify that all connections are tight and the slide is stable.
7. Install Guardrails: Secure the full-length guardrails to the upper bunk.
8. Install Mattress Slats: Place the wooden slats across the bed frames for both the upper (14 slats) and lower (7 slats) bunks. Secure them as indicated in the instructions (typically with screws).
9. Final Tightening: Once all components are in place and aligned, go back and fully tighten all bolts and screws. Do not overtighten.
