The Eldridge Bed

Included Components & Hardware

Notes: Assembly requires 2 people. Ensure all hardware is firmly secured and do not loosen or move it after installation.

Assembly Steps

Step 1: Access Side Rail Hardware

Locate the zipped panels on the inside of the side rails. Open these panels to access the assembly hardware that connects the headboard and side rails.

Step 2: Connect Headboard to Side Rails

Insert the pre-attached bolts on the headboard into the corresponding holes on the side rails. Once inserted, place a washer and then a nut onto each bolt. Use the provided wrench to tighten them securely.

Step 3: Access Footboard Hardware

With the headboard and side rails connected, locate the zipped panels on the opposite ends of the side rails. Open these panels to access the assembly hardware that connects the footboard and side rails.

Step 4: Connect Footboard to Side Rails

Insert the pre-attached bolts on the footboard into the corresponding holes on the side rails. Similar to Step 2, place a washer and then a nut onto each bolt, and use the wrench to tighten them.

Step 5: Attach Legs to Center Support Rail

Screw the center support legs into the designated threaded holes on the center support rail. Ensure the metal T-nuts on the legs are facing upward.

[Diagram: Shows the center support rail with three legs being screwed into it from the underside.]

Step 6: Position Center Support Rail

Place the assembled center support rail inside the bed frame. Adjust the glides on the bottom of the center support legs as needed. Ensure the legs stand straight and are flush with the floor for maximum stability. Verify that the zipped panels on the side rails are closed.

Step 7: Install Slats

Place the slats inside the bed frame, resting them on the side rails and the center support rail. Note that the slat pockets are designed to be slightly wider than the slats to facilitate easier assembly.

Assembly Checklist

Review the checklist below to ensure your bed is properly assembled:

• Ensure all slats are present.
• Ensure all slats are lying flat.
• Ensure all hardware is firmly secured. Do not loosen or move hardware.
• Ensure center support legs are level.
• If you need to move this piece for any reason (including installing a rug beneath it), disassemble it first, then reassemble it in the desired position.
