1. Introduction
This manual provides detailed instructions for the assembly, operation, and maintenance of your Bellemave Queen Over Queen Bunk Bed. Please read all instructions carefully before beginning assembly and retain this manual for future reference.
2. Safety Information
- Always follow the assembly instructions precisely.
- Ensure all connections are securely tightened before use. Periodically check and re-tighten as necessary.
- The top bunk is intended for use by children 6 years of age and older.
- Ensure the mattress used on the top bunk does not exceed 6 inches in thickness and is at least 5 inches below the top of the guardrails.
- Do not allow more than one person on the top bunk at any time.
- Prohibit horseplay on or under the bed.
- Always use the ladder for entering and exiting the top bunk.
- Do not attach or hang items to any part of the bunk bed that are not designed for use with the bed; for example, but not limited to, hooks, belts, and jump ropes.
- The slide is intended for supervised use only. Ensure the area around the slide is clear before use.
3. Setup and Assembly
Your Bellemave bunk bed requires assembly. It is recommended that two adults assemble this product. Please ensure all parts are present before beginning. A clear assembly instruction guide is included with your product.
- Unpacking: Carefully unpack all components and lay them out on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
- Tools Required: Basic hand tools are typically sufficient. A power drill with an Allen key bit can significantly speed up the process for the numerous screws and bolts.
- Step-by-Step Assembly: Follow the provided instruction manual for detailed diagrams and steps. Pay close attention to the orientation of parts, especially those with pre-drilled holes, to avoid reassembly.
- Tightening Fasteners: Initially, hand-tighten all screws and bolts. Once the entire structure is assembled, go back and securely tighten all fasteners. Do not overtighten.
- Component Check: Verify that all dowels are securely fitted. If any seem loose, ensure they are correctly inserted into their respective holes.

5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
- Fastener Check: Periodically inspect all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as needed to maintain structural integrity.
- Wood Care: Protect the wood from extreme temperature changes and direct sunlight to prevent warping or fading.
- Upholstered Headboard Care: For the upholstered headboard, spot clean with a mild fabric cleaner as necessary.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Difficulty aligning holes during assembly | Incorrect orientation of a part; minor manufacturing variance. | Review the assembly diagrams carefully to ensure all parts are oriented correctly. Loosen adjacent fasteners to allow for slight adjustment, then re-tighten. If a hole is completely missing, contact customer support. |
| Loose dowels or connections | Dowels not fully inserted; fasteners not tightened sufficiently. | Ensure dowels are pushed completely into their holes. Fully tighten all bolts and screws. If dowels are too loose to hold, contact customer support for replacement parts. |
| Bed feels unstable or wobbly | Fasteners are not fully tightened; uneven floor surface. | Check and securely tighten all bolts and screws throughout the entire bed frame. Ensure the bed is placed on a level surface. Use shims if necessary to stabilize. |
