4. Assembly Instructions

Assembly requires two adults and approximately 2-4 hours. All necessary tools are included. Follow these steps carefully.

1. Unpack and Identify Parts: Carefully unpack all components from both packages. Lay them out on a clean, soft surface (e.g., a carpet or blanket) to prevent scratches. Identify each part using the provided labels. Note: Some painted components may be stuck together due to packaging. Separate them gently to avoid paint damage. If significant paint damage occurs, contact customer support.
2. Assemble the Lower Bed Frame: Begin by assembling the base frame for the lower bunk. Connect the side rails and end panels using the specified hardware. Ensure all connections are snug but do not overtighten until the frame is fully aligned.
3. Install Lower Bed Slats: Once the lower frame is stable, insert the wooden slats into the designated slots or attach them with screws as indicated in the detailed diagram. These slats provide mattress support.
4. Assemble the Upper Bed Frame: Construct the frame for the upper bunk, similar to the lower bunk. Pay close attention to the orientation of the panels that will form the "house" structure.
5. Attach Upper Bed Guard Rails: Securely attach the full-length guard rails to the upper bunk frame. These are critical safety components.
6. Install Upper Bed Slats: Place the wooden slats for the upper bunk into position, ensuring they are evenly spaced and securely fastened.
7. Mount Upper Bunk onto Lower Bunk: With assistance, carefully lift the assembled upper bunk and align it over the lower bunk. Securely fasten the upper bunk to the lower bunk's support posts using the provided long bolts and connectors.
8. Assemble and Attach the Ladder: Assemble the ladder components. The ladder can typically be positioned on either the side or the head/foot of the bed. Securely attach the ladder to the upper bunk frame. Ensure it is stable and does not wobble.
9. Install Roof and Window Panels: Attach the decorative roof panels and window panels to the upper bunk structure. Ensure all connections are firm.
10. Final Inspection: After completing all steps, perform a thorough inspection. Check all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they are fully tightened. Confirm the stability of the entire structure.
