4. Setup and Assembly Instructions
Assembly is designed to be straightforward. It is recommended to assemble the bed base with two people. Lay out all components on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches.
- Unpack and Identify Parts: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Refer to the included parts list and diagrams to identify each piece. The hardware kit includes all necessary tools, though a personal wrench or electric drill may expedite slat installation.
- Assemble the Main Frame: Connect the side rails and end rails using the provided bolts and nuts. Ensure all connections are secure but do not fully tighten until the entire frame is assembled. The frame features reinforced connections with thick iron sheets for stability.
- Attach Support Legs: Securely attach the eight heavy-duty support legs to the designated points on the frame. The legs are designed to be slightly recessed for a clean aesthetic.
- Install Center Crossbars: Position and secure the two center crossbars within the main frame. These provide additional central support for the mattress.
- Place and Secure Slats: Lay the natural pine wood slats across the frame. The slats are designed for a standard 3.31-inch clearance, providing optimal mattress support. Secure each slat to the frame using the provided screws. Ensure the recessed screw holes are utilized to prevent damage to your mattress.
- Final Tightening: Once all components are in place, systematically tighten all bolts and screws. Do not overtighten.
