4. Setup and Assembly
Assembly of the Merax Full Size Loft Bed is required. A clear and detailed assembly instruction guide, along with all necessary tools, is provided with your purchase. It is highly recommended to follow these instructions step-by-step to ensure correct and safe construction.
Assembly Tips:
- Review all parts: Before starting, unpack both packages and verify all parts against the provided parts list. Check for any missing or damaged components.
- Identify parts: Some parts may not have clear labels. Carefully compare each piece to the diagrams in the instruction guide.
