Once the main frame is stable, place the slatted base onto the designated supports within the bed frame. Ensure the slats are evenly spaced and secured if necessary.

Step 4: Attach the Textile Cover Set
Drape the Tipi textile cover over the upper frame of the bed. Secure it using the ties or fasteners provided, ensuring it is taut and evenly distributed.
Operating Instructions
Using the Bed Drawer
The integrated bed drawer can be used for storage of bedding, toys, or other items. It can also accommodate an additional mattress (not included) to serve as an extra sleeping space. Gently pull the drawer out from under the bed and push it back in when not in use.
Textile Cover
The Tipi textile cover creates a cozy and enclosed space. It can be easily removed for cleaning or if you prefer an open bed frame design.

Textile Cover Care
