4. Setup and Assembly
Adult assembly is required for this bunk bed. No special tools are needed as all necessary hardware and an Allen wrench (if applicable) are typically included. It is recommended to assemble the bed with at least two adults.
4.1 Preparation
- Clear a spacious area for assembly, preferably near the final placement of the bed.
- Unpack all components and lay them out on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratching.
- Identify all parts using the provided parts list (if included in the packaging).
4.2 Assembly Steps (General Guide)
- Begin by assembling the bottom (full) bed frame. Attach the side rails to the full headboard and footboard using the provided hardware. Ensure all connections are secure but do not fully tighten until the frame is complete.
- Install the slats for the bottom bunk. These typically rest on ledges along the side rails and may be secured with screws.
- Assemble the top (twin) bed frame in a similar manner, attaching the side rails to the twin headboard and footboard.
- Attach the guard rails to the top bunk frame.
- Carefully lift and position the assembled top bunk onto the bottom bunk, aligning the connecting posts. Secure the top bunk to the bottom bunk using the designated hardware.
- Attach the ladder to the top bunk, ensuring it is firmly secured and stable.
- Once the entire structure is assembled, go back and fully tighten all bolts and screws. Do not overtighten.
- Place mattresses on both bunks. Ensure the top bunk mattress does not exceed the recommended thickness to maintain guard rail effectiveness.
Refer to the specific assembly diagrams and instructions included in your product packaging for detailed, step-by-step guidance.
5. Operating (Usage) Instructions
The Lexicon Rowe Bunk Bed is designed for safe and comfortable sleeping. Follow these guidelines for proper usage:
- Mattress Placement: Place a twin-sized mattress on the top bunk and a full-sized mattress on the bottom bunk. Ensure mattresses fit snugly within the frame.
- Top Bunk Access: Always use the provided ladder to access and exit the top bunk. Do not jump onto or off the top bunk.
- Weight Limits: Adhere to the manufacturer's recommended weight limits for each bunk. Overloading can compromise the bed's structural integrity and safety.
- Guard Rails: The top bunk is equipped with guard rails for safety. Ensure they are always in place and properly secured.
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate air circulation around the mattresses to prevent moisture buildup.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and appearance of your bunk bed.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the wood surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or polishes that may damage the dark cherry finish.
- Hardware Check: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) check all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they are tight. Retighten if necessary, but do not overtighten.
- Structural Integrity: Inspect the bed frame for any signs of damage, cracks, or loose joints. Address any issues promptly to maintain safety.
- Environmental Conditions: Avoid placing the bed in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as this can cause the wood to dry out, crack, or fade. Maintain a stable room temperature and humidity.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your bunk bed, consider the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bed feels wobbly or unstable | Loose hardware connections. | Check and tighten all bolts and screws. Ensure all parts are correctly aligned. |
| Squeaking noises | Loose connections or friction between wood parts. | Tighten all hardware. If squeaking persists, apply a small amount of paraffin wax or silicone spray to contact points between wood components (avoiding areas that bear weight). |
| Ladder feels loose | Ladder attachment hardware is not secure. | Ensure the ladder is properly hooked and secured to the top bunk. Tighten any bolts connecting the ladder to the bed frame. |
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, or if you suspect a manufacturing defect, please contact Lexicon customer support.
