Assembly Instructions

Assembly typically requires two adults and approximately 1-2 hours. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Step 1: Attach Side Rails to Headboard and Footboard

   Position the headboard and footboard upright. Attach the side rails to the headboard and footboard using the provided bolts and washers. Ensure all connections are snug but do not fully tighten until all major components are connected.

2. Step 2: Install Center Support Beam

   Attach the center support beam to the designated brackets on the headboard and footboard. This beam provides crucial central stability for the slat system.

3. Step 3: Place Wooden Slats

   Lay the wooden slats across the side rails, ensuring they are evenly spaced and secured according to the instructions. Some slats may have pre-drilled holes for screws to prevent shifting. Attach any required support legs to the slats or center beam.

4. Step 4: Final Tightening

   Once all components are in place, go back and securely tighten all bolts and screws using the provided Allen wrench. Avoid overtightening.

5. Step 5: Mattress Placement

   Place your mattress directly onto the assembled slat system. A 10-inch mattress thickness is recommended for optimal appearance and comfort.

Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning: For the upholstered headboard, spot clean with a dry cloth. For the wood frame, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
• Sunlight Exposure: Avoid direct sunlight exposure to prevent fading of the upholstery and wood finish.
• Regular Checks: Periodically check all hardware connections (bolts, screws) and re-tighten if they have loosened over time.
• Moving the Bed: When moving the bed frame, lift it rather than dragging it to prevent damage to the legs and frame structure.
