4. Setup and Assembly

Assembly is required for this product. It is recommended to have two people for assembly. Clear a spacious area and lay out all components before starting.

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Check against the parts list (usually provided on a separate sheet or within the main manual) to ensure everything is present.
2. Assemble Main Bed Frame: Follow the diagrams to connect the side panels and head/footboards using the provided hardware. Do not fully tighten screws until the frame is stable.
3. Install Upper Slatted Base: Place the 13-slat plywood base onto the designated supports within the main bed frame. Secure as instructed.
4. Assemble Trundle Bed Frame: Construct the frame for the pull-out trundle bed. This will include its own side rails and supports.
5. Install Lower Slatted Base: Place the 14-slat plywood base onto the trundle bed frame. Secure as instructed.
6. Assemble Storage Drawer: Construct the storage drawer, attaching the wheels to the bottom panel.
7. Integrate Trundle and Drawer: Slide the assembled trundle bed and storage drawer into their respective positions under the main bed frame. Ensure they move smoothly.
8. Final Tightening: Once all components are in place and aligned, fully tighten all screws and fasteners. Do not overtighten.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Transforming from Single to Double Bed

1. Prepare the Area: Ensure there is enough clear space in front of the daybed to extend the trundle.
2. Pull Out Trundle: Gently pull the trundle bed frame outwards from under the main bed. It is designed to slide smoothly on its mechanism.
3. Position Mattress: Place a second 90 x 190 cm mattress on the extended trundle bed.

To revert to a single bed, remove the second mattress and gently push the trundle bed back into its closed position under the main bed.

5.2. Using the Storage Drawer

1. Open Drawer: Pull the integrated drawer outwards from the front of the daybed. It operates on wheels for easy access.
2. Storage: Use the drawer to store bedding, clothes, or other items, ensuring the total weight does not exceed 50 kg.
3. Close Drawer: Gently push the drawer back into its closed position under the bed.

Tip: When the trundle bed is closed, you can stack two 90 x 190 cm mattresses on the main bed for enhanced comfort, provided the combined height fits comfortably within the bed frame.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the lacquered finish.
• Dusting: Regularly dust the bed frame to prevent buildup.
• Fasteners: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Retighten as necessary to maintain the bed's stability and safety.
• Moving the Bed: When moving the bed, lift it rather than dragging it to prevent damage to the frame and floor.
• Drawer Rails/Wheels: Keep the drawer wheels and tracks free of dust and debris to ensure smooth operation.

7. Troubleshooting

• Difficulty Assembling:

  Solution: Review the assembly instructions carefully. Ensure all parts are correctly oriented and that screws are not overtightened prematurely. Sometimes, loosening all screws slightly, adjusting components, and then retightening can resolve alignment issues.
• Trundle Bed or Drawer Sticks:

  Solution: Check for any obstructions in the tracks or under the bed. Ensure the wheels are clean and free of debris. Verify that the bed frame is level and not warped, which could cause misalignment.

• Bed Feels Unstable or Wobbly:

  Solution: All fasteners may not be fully tightened. Go through all connections and tighten screws and bolts securely. Avoid overtightening, which can strip threads or crack wood.

• Missing Parts or Damaged Components:

  Solution: Do not attempt to assemble with missing or damaged parts. Contact Vente-unique customer support immediately for replacements.
