- Only use mattresses of the recommended thickness: 4-6 inches for the upper bed and 8 inches for the bottom bed.
- Do not attach or hang items on any part of the bunk bed that are not designed for use with the bed, such as ropes, belts, or other items that could pose a strangulation hazard.
3. Setup and Assembly
The DNYN Twin Over Twin Bunk Bed requires full assembly. It is recommended that two people participate in the assembly process, which is estimated to take approximately 60 minutes. All necessary tools are included with the product. To prevent damage to components, avoid using power tools during assembly.
- Unpack all components and verify against the parts list provided in your packaging. Ensure no parts are missing or damaged.
- Lay out all components on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratching.
- Begin by assembling the main bed frames, connecting the side rails to the headboards and footboards using the provided hardware.
- Attach the bed slats to both the upper and lower bed frames, ensuring they are evenly spaced and securely fastened.
- Assemble the house-shaped roof structure and attach it to the top of the upper bed frame.
- Install the safety guardrails on all four sides of the upper bed.
- Assemble the ladder and the slide. Both the ladder and the slide can be installed on either the left or right side of the bed, depending on your room layout and preference. Secure them firmly to the bed frame.
- Once fully assembled, gently lift and position the bed in its desired location. Do not drag the bed, as this may damage the frame.

4. Operating Instructions
The DNYN Twin Over Twin Bunk Bed is designed for sleeping and recreational use. Proper operation ensures safety and longevity.
- Sleeping: Place appropriately sized mattresses on both the upper and lower beds. Ensure the mattress thickness adheres to the recommended specifications (4-6 inches for upper, 8 inches for lower) to maintain guardrail effectiveness.
- Using the Ladder: Always use the provided ladder to access the upper bunk. Ensure a firm grip on the handrails and step carefully on each rung.
- Using the Slide: The integrated slide provides a fun exit from the upper bunk. Children should slide down feet first, one at a time, and ensure the landing area is clear. Adult supervision is recommended during slide use.
- Weight Limits: Adhere strictly to the weight limits: 250 lbs for the upper bed and 300 lbs for the bottom bed. Exceeding these limits can compromise the bed's structural integrity and safety.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and structural integrity of your bunk bed.
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the painted finish. The manufacturer specifies "Dry Clean Only" for product care, which typically refers to fabric components if present, but for the wood frame, a damp cloth is appropriate.
- Hardware Check: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) inspect all bolts, screws, and connections. Tighten any that have become loose due to normal use.
- Structural Integrity: Check for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage to the wood frame or slats. Address any issues promptly to maintain safety.
- Slide and Ladder: Ensure the slide surface is clean and free of obstructions. Check the ladder rungs and connections for stability.

6. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your bunk bed.
- Bed feels wobbly after assembly:
Solution: This is often due to loose connections. Re-check all bolts and screws, ensuring they are fully tightened. Ensure the bed is placed on a level surface. - Difficulty with slide or ladder installation:
Solution: Refer to Section 3 (Setup and Assembly) and the included assembly diagrams. Ensure you are using the correct hardware for each step. Remember that both the slide and ladder can be installed on either side. - Squeaking noises:
Solution: Squeaking can occur from loose connections or friction between wood parts. Identify the source of the squeak and tighten any loose hardware. Applying a small amount of furniture wax or silicone spray to contact points (avoiding areas that bear weight or are walked on) might help. - Missing or damaged parts:
Solution: If you discover missing or damaged parts upon unpacking, do not proceed with assembly. Contact DNYN customer support immediately with your purchase details and a description of the issue to request replacement parts.
