4. Setup and Assembly
Assembly is designed to be straightforward. It is recommended to have two adults for assembly. Please follow these steps carefully:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches. Identify each component using the parts list in your included manual.
- Attach Side Rails: Connect the upholstered side rails to the headboard and footboard using the provided hardware. Ensure all connections are secure but do not overtighten until the bed frame is fully assembled.
- Install Wooden Slats: The bed features an easy Velcro slat design. Attach the 9 wooden slats to the bed frame. Ensure they are evenly spaced and securely fastened to the frame using the Velcro strips.
- Attach/Remove Support Legs (Optional): The bed includes 4 detachable solid wood legs. For an elevated toddler bed, screw the legs into the designated points on the bottom of the bed frame. For a low-profile Montessori floor bed, do not attach the legs.
- Final Tightening: Once all components are in place, go back and securely tighten all bolts and screws. Do not overtighten.
- Place Mattress: Position a standard crib mattress (31.5" W x 55.9" L) onto the wooden slats.

5. Operating Instructions (Usage)
The DoCred Cloud Toddler Bed is designed for children transitioning from a crib. Its low-profile design, especially when the legs are removed, allows toddlers to climb in and out independently, fostering confidence and autonomy.
- Mattress Placement: Use a standard crib mattress (31.5" W x 55.9" L) for optimal fit and safety.
- Height Adjustment: Choose between the elevated bed configuration (with legs) for easier access for parents, or the Montessori floor bed configuration (without legs) for child independence.
- Guardrails: The upholstered design includes integrated guardrails to prevent accidental falls during sleep.

6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will help extend the life of your DoCred Cloud Toddler Bed.
- Cleaning the Upholstery: For minor spills, gently blot with a clean, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild fabric cleaner specifically designed for upholstered furniture. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Dusting: Regularly vacuum the upholstered surfaces with a soft brush attachment to remove dust and debris.
- Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and connections to ensure they are tight. Retighten if necessary to maintain stability and safety.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading of the fabric. Position the bed away from direct sunlight or use curtains/blinds.

|---|---|---|
