Please read and understand all instructions before beginning assembly and use. Keep these instructions for future reference.

• Maximum Weight Capacity: The loft bed is designed to support a maximum weight of 250 lbs. Do not exceed this limit.

1. Prepare the Area: Clear a spacious area for assembly. Lay out all components and hardware.
2. Assemble Main Frame: Connect the main support posts (Part A) with the long bed rails (Part B) and short bed rails (Part C) using the provided hardware. Ensure all connections are secure but do not fully tighten yet.
3. Install Desk and Shelves: Attach the desk surface (Part D) to the designated frame sections. Then, install the shelf boards (Part E) onto the ladder/shelf supports (Part F). Secure these sections to the main frame.
4. Secure All Connections: Once the main structure, desk, and shelves are in place, go back and fully tighten all screws and bolts. Ensure the bed is stable and level.

4. Usage Guidelines

The Merax Wood Loft Bed is designed to maximize space in smaller rooms, providing both a comfortable sleeping area and a functional workstation.

• Sleeping Area: The top bunk is suitable for a twin-size mattress. Ensure the mattress fits snugly within the frame and below the top of the guardrails.
• Workstation: The integrated desk provides ample space for studying, working, or gaming. A standard desk chair can be easily rolled underneath.
• Storage: The four integrated shelves offer convenient storage for books, decor, or personal items.
• Ladder Access: Use the integrated ladder (part of the shelving unit) for safe access to the top bunk. Always face the ladder when climbing up or down.

5. Care & Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Merax Loft Bed.

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For best results, follow "Dry Clean Only" instructions for the furniture finish.
• Tighten Hardware: Periodically check all screws and bolts and tighten them as needed to maintain stability. Loose hardware can lead to wobbling or structural issues.
• Avoid Moisture: Protect the wood from excessive moisture and direct sunlight to prevent warping or fading.
• Paint Finish: The painted finish may show minor imperfections or wear over time. Touch-up paint can be used if desired.
