Step-by-Step Guide:

  1. Assemble the Daybed Base:

    Begin by connecting the main side rails (parts 7) to the headboard and footboard sections (parts 1, 2, 4, 5, 6). Use the provided screws (type 'a' and 'b') and tools. Ensure all connections are loosely fitted at this stage.

  2. Install Daybed Slats:

    Insert the steel slats (parts 9, 10) into the designated slots on the daybed frame. Secure them with the appropriate screws (type 'a') as indicated in the manual. Once all slats are in place, you can proceed to tighten the frame connections from step 1.

  3. Assemble the Trundle Frame:

    Connect the trundle frame components (parts 4, 5, 6) using screws (type 'b'). Attach the middle support legs (part 8) to the trundle frame. Ensure these connections are also loosely fitted initially.

  4. Attach Trundle Casters:

    Secure the 4 lockable casters to the bottom of the trundle frame. Make sure they are firmly attached to allow for smooth movement and secure locking.

  5. Install Trundle Slats:

    Place the remaining steel slats into the trundle frame. Once all slats are in position, fully tighten all screws on the trundle frame.

  6. Final Tightening and Placement:

    Once both the daybed and trundle frames are fully assembled and all slats are in place, go back and securely tighten all screws on both units. Place the trundle under the daybed. Ensure the anti-slip foot pads are on all legs of the daybed.

5. Operating the Daybed and Trundle

The Giantex Metal Twin Daybed with Trundle offers flexible sleeping and seating arrangements:

  • Extending the Trundle: To use the trundle bed, unlock the casters and gently pull the trundle frame out from underneath the main daybed.

  • Locking the Trundle: Once the trundle is in the desired position, engage the locks on all four casters to prevent unwanted movement and ensure stability.
  • Retracting the Trundle: To store the trundle, unlock the casters, push the trundle back under the daybed, and then re-engage the caster locks to keep it securely in place.

Recommended mattress thickness for the upper bed is 6"-8", and for the trundle is 4"-6".

6. Care and Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Wipe the metal frame with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the powder-coated surface.
  • Inspection: Periodically check all bolts and connections to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability and safety.
  • Protection: The anti-slip foot pads are designed to protect your floors. Ensure they are always in place and in good condition.
  • Rust Prevention: The powder-coated surface is rust-resistant, but avoid prolonged exposure to moisture to maintain its integrity.

7. Troubleshooting

  • Difficulty with Assembly/Alignment: If you encounter issues with parts not aligning, ensure that all screws are only loosely fitted until the entire frame is assembled. This allows for minor adjustments before final tightening.
  • Squeaking Noises: Check all connections and ensure they are securely tightened. Loose bolts can cause squeaking. Applying a small amount of lubricant to connection points may also help.
  • Trundle Not Rolling Smoothly: Verify that the casters are clean and free of debris. Ensure the caster locks are disengaged when attempting to roll the trundle.
