6.3. Key Assembly Steps (Summary from Video)

1. Assemble Cabinet Base: Connect the base panels (e.g., plates 23, 24, 31, 32, 33, 27, 34, 25, 26, 30, 29) using the specified screws and wooden plugs. Ensure all connections are secure.
2. Install LED Lights: Attach the LED light strips (part K) to the designated panels (e.g., plates 28 and 31) as shown in the video.
3. Wall Mounting: This is a critical step.
   • Identify a structural or load-bearing wall. Use a stud finder to locate wall studs.
   • Position the assembled cabinet frame against the wall.
   • Measure and mark the drilling points for the wall mounting brackets (U1).
   • Drill pilot holes and securely attach the U1 brackets to the wall studs.
   • Attach the cabinet frame to the wall brackets. Verify the frame is level and square by measuring diagonals (AB=CD).
4. Assemble Bed Frame: Connect the metal bed frame components (e.g., plates 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13) using the provided hardware.
5. Attach Gas Struts: Securely attach the gas struts (part S) to the bed frame and cabinet frame as instructed. These assist in the bed's folding mechanism.
6. Install Decorative Panels: Attach the decorative wooden panels (e.g., plates 18, 19, 20, 21, 22) to the bed frame using wooden plugs (part L) and screws.
7. Final Tightening: After all components are assembled, go back and tighten all bolts and screws using the Allen wrench to ensure maximum stability.
