4. Setup and Assembly

The DNYN Full Size Montessori Floor Bed is designed for straightforward assembly. It is recommended that two adults perform the assembly. Please follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the included assembly manual. A general overview of the process is as follows:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches. Verify all parts against the components list.
2. Attach Side Rails: Connect the side rails to the headboard and footboard panels using the provided hardware. Ensure all connections are snug but do not overtighten until all parts are aligned.
3. Install Fence Panels: Securely attach the fence panels to the bed frame. Pay attention to the orientation of the panels to ensure the entry/exit opening is correctly positioned.
4. Final Tightening: Once all components are assembled, systematically tighten all screws and bolts. Do not overtighten to avoid stripping the wood or hardware.
5. Placement: Position the assembled bed in its desired location, ensuring it is on a flat, stable surface.
