- Attach Legs: Securely attach the plastic legs to the designated points on the frame.
- Install Slats: Place the wooden slats across the bed frame, ensuring they are evenly spaced and secured according to the instructions. Some slats may require screwing into the frame.
- Insert Storage Drawers: Assemble the two storage drawers if they are not pre-assembled. The drawers feature wheels for easy gliding. Slide them into the designated space under the bed frame.

Operating Instructions
Converting Between Sofa and Daybed/Platform Bed
The Polibi Twin Sofa Bed is designed for versatile use, easily transitioning between a sofa configuration and a platform bed or daybed setup.
- Sofa Configuration: In its primary sofa configuration, the bed frame is positioned to provide back support, allowing it to function as a comfortable seating area.
- Daybed Configuration: To use as a daybed, simply add appropriate bedding and pillows. The design allows for comfortable lounging during the day and sleeping at night.
- Platform Bed Configuration: The robust slat system supports a twin-size mattress directly, eliminating the need for a box spring. This configuration provides a stable and comfortable sleeping surface.

- Opening Drawers: Gently pull the front panel of the drawer outwards to slide it open.
- Closing Drawers: Push the drawer inwards until it is fully recessed under the bed frame.
- Capacity: Each drawer measures approximately 26.5"L x 17"W x 4.5"H, offering ample space for various items.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Velvet Upholstery
- Regular Cleaning: Vacuum the velvet upholstery regularly using a soft brush attachment to remove dust and debris.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub. For stubborn stains, use a mild, water-free solvent or dry-cleaning product specifically designed for velvet. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Moisture: Do not saturate the fabric with water or cleaning solutions, as this can damage the velvet.
- Professional Cleaning: For deep cleaning or significant stains, consider professional upholstery cleaning.
Frame and Hardware Maintenance
- Tighten Fasteners: Periodically check all bolts and screws and re-tighten them to ensure the frame remains stable and secure.
- Clean Frame: Wipe the wooden and plastic components with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drawer Rails: Keep the drawer rails free of dust and debris to ensure smooth operation.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Squeaking noises from frame | Loose bolts or screws; friction between components. | Tighten all assembly hardware. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to contact points if necessary. |
| Drawers not sliding smoothly | Debris in drawer rails; misaligned drawers. | Clean the drawer wheels and rails. Ensure drawers are properly aligned in their tracks. |
| Bed feels unstable or wobbly | Incomplete assembly; loose connections; uneven floor. | Re-check all assembly steps and tighten all fasteners. Ensure the sofa bed is placed on a level surface. |
| Upholstery appears flattened or matted | Prolonged pressure; lack of regular care. | Gently brush the velvet pile with a soft brush in the direction of the nap. Avoid sitting in the same spot for extended periods. |
