Setup and Assembly

Partial assembly is required for this bunk bed. It will arrive in two separate boxes, which may not be delivered simultaneously. Please ensure you have received both packages before starting assembly.

Before You Begin:

• Clear a spacious area for assembly.
• Identify all parts and hardware using the included parts list (not provided in this manual, refer to your product packaging).
• Use appropriate tools as specified in your product's assembly guide.
• Do not fully tighten bolts until all components are loosely assembled.

Assembly Steps (General Guidance):

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Lay them out on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
2. Assemble Bed Frames: Begin by assembling the headboards and footboards for both the upper and lower beds. Attach side rails.
3. Install Slats: Securely attach the wooden slats to both bed frames. Ensure even spacing and firm attachment for mattress support.
4. Assemble Storage Drawers: Construct the two storage drawers according to the instructions.
5. Attach Ladder and Guardrails: For the bunk bed configuration, attach the ladder and all safety guardrails to the upper bunk. Ensure they are firmly secured.
6. Final Tightening: Once all components are in place, carefully tighten all bolts and screws. Do not overtighten.

Operating Instructions

Using the Bunk Bed Configuration:

• Ensure the ladder is securely attached before use.
• Only one person should climb the ladder at a time.
• Always use the guardrails on the upper bunk to prevent falls.
• Do not attach or hang items on any part of the bunk bed that are not designed for use with the bed, such as hooks or ropes, as they could pose a strangulation hazard.

Using the Storage Drawers:

• The two drawers are located beneath the lower bunk. Pull the knobs to open them.
• These drawers are ideal for storing blankets, sheets, toys, and other small items.
• Avoid overloading the drawers to ensure smooth operation and prevent damage.

Converting to Two Individual Beds:

This bunk bed can be separated into two standalone twin platform beds. To convert:

1. Carefully remove the upper bunk from the lower bunk by detaching the connecting hardware.
2. Remove the ladder and guardrails.
3. Position the two beds as desired in your room. Ensure all parts are stable and secure.

Maintenance

Cleaning:

• Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or polishes that may damage the finish.
• Promptly clean up spills to prevent staining or damage to the wood.

Care:

• Regularly check all hardware (bolts, screws) and tighten them as needed to maintain stability and safety.
• Avoid dragging the bed when moving it; lift it to prevent damage to the frame or floor.
• Keep the bed away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent warping or fading of the wood.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Bed feels wobbly: Ensure all bolts and screws are fully tightened. Check that the bed is on a level surface.
• Drawers are difficult to open/close: Check for obstructions in the drawer glides. Ensure the drawers are assembled correctly and not overloaded.
• Squeaking noises: Tighten all hardware. If squeaking persists, apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., silicone spray) to metal-on-metal contact points, if any, or where wood components rub.
• Missing parts: If you find any parts missing upon unboxing, please contact Merax customer support immediately.
