- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, soft surface (like a rug) to prevent scratching.
- Unfold Frame Sections: The bed frame comes in two main sections for the Queen size. Carefully unfold each section, ensuring the support legs extend outwards and lock into place. You may hear a click when the legs are fully extended and locked.
- Connect Frame Sections: Align the two unfolded frame sections side-by-side. Use the provided connecting bolts and nuts to secure the two sections together in the middle. Tighten these bolts firmly with the included hex key/wrench.
- Final Check: Ensure all support legs are fully extended and locked, and all connecting bolts are securely tightened. The frame should be stable and level.
