5.1 Before You Begin
- Clear a spacious area for assembly.
- Unpack all components and verify against the parts list in the included manual.

5.2 Assembly Steps (General Overview)
- Begin by assembling the main bed frame components according to the step-by-step instructions provided in the package.

- Once assembled, double-check all bolts and screws to ensure they are tightened securely.
Refer to the detailed graphical instructions included in your product packaging for precise assembly steps and diagrams.
