Assembly Steps

Follow steps in order. Use the provided hex key for all cam locks.

Step 1: Identify all parts using the illustrations in the manual.
Step 2: Attach the headboard and footboard to one side rail using wooden dowels and cam locks. Do not fully tighten yet.
Step 3: Attach the second side rail to complete the rectangular frame. Ensure all corners are square.
Step 4: Tighten all cam locks firmly using the hex key. The locking mechanism should be flush and secure.
Step 5: Install the center support beam. Attach it to the pre-drilled holes on the side rails using the provided screws.
Step 6: Place the slatted bed base onto the support ledges on the side rails and center beam. Ensure it sits evenly.

Tip: Do not use power tools for assembly, as overtightening may damage the wood or fittings.

Mattress & Slatted Base

Mattress Size: Designed for a standard Full/Double size mattress (54" x 75" / 137 cm x 191 cm).
Slatted Base: The included base provides ventilation and support. Ensure all slats are correctly positioned on the ledges.
Center Support: The center beam is critical for preventing sagging and ensuring longevity.

CAUTION! Use only a mattress of the recommended size. An oversized mattress may overhang and destabilize the frame.

Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or chemicals.
Periodically check and retighten cam locks and screws (every 3-6 months).
Avoid placing the bed in direct sunlight or high-humidity areas.
If moving, disassemble the bed by reversing the assembly steps.
