Assembly Instructions

Assembly requires at least two adults. Clear a large, open workspace. Tools required (not included): Phillips head screwdriver, hammer, measuring tape, level, stud finder (for wall anchoring).

1. Unpack and Organize: Carefully unpack all boxes. Identify and separate all wooden panels, metal parts, and hardware. Refer to the parts list in your included manual to ensure all pieces are present.
2. Assemble Wardrobe Unit: Begin by assembling the main wardrobe unit (left side). Follow the step-by-step diagrams in the provided manual to connect the side panels, back panel, shelves, and drawer slides using the specified hardware.
3. Assemble Upper Storage Units: Construct the upper storage cabinets and open shelves. These units will be mounted above the bed frame.
4. Assemble Bed Frame: Assemble the metal bed frame and attach the wooden slats. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
5. Integrate Bed Frame with Cabinet: Attach the assembled bed frame mechanism to the main cabinet structure. This step often involves spring or piston mechanisms; exercise caution and follow instructions precisely.
6. Attach Upper Units: Securely attach the assembled upper storage cabinets and shelves to the main unit, ensuring they are level and aligned.
7. Install Drawers and Doors: Assemble the two storage drawers and install them into the wardrobe unit. Attach doors to the wardrobe and upper cabinets.
8. Wall Anchoring: Position the fully assembled unit against the desired wall. Using a stud finder, locate wall studs. Mark and drill pilot holes. Securely attach the unit to the wall studs using the provided anti-tip hardware. This step is critical for safety.
9. Final Checks: Ensure all screws and bolts are tightened. Test the folding mechanism several times to ensure smooth operation.

   • Ensure the support legs are fully extended and locked into place for stability.
2. To Fold the Bed:

   • Ensure the support legs are disengaged and can fold back into the frame.
