Safety Instructions

WARNING! Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or damage to the product.

Two-Person Job: Assembly requires at least two adults due to the size and weight of components.
Clear Workspace: Assemble on a soft, clean surface (e.g., carpet) to prevent scratches.
Inspect Parts: Check for damaged or missing parts before starting. Do not assemble with defective parts.
Secure Tightening: Ensure all screws and cam locks are fully tightened. Re-check after one week of use.
Weight Limit: Maximum load for the bed frame and slats is 600 lbs (272 kg) evenly distributed.

CAUTION! Keep small children and pets away from the assembly area. Small parts are a choking hazard.

Step-by-Step Assembly

Follow these steps in order. Do not fully tighten cam locks until instructed.

Attach Side Rails to Headboard:
- Lay the headboard flat on its back, protected surface.
- Insert wooden dowels into the pre-drilled holes on the headboard legs.
- Align one side rail with the dowels and headboard leg. Tap gently to connect.
- Insert the cam lock screws through the side rail into the headboard leg. Turn the cam lock nuts 90 degrees clockwise with the hex key to secure. Do not fully tighten yet.
- Repeat for the other side rail.
Attach Footboard:
- With the headboard and side rails connected, lift the structure upright with help.
- Connect the footboard to the free ends of the side rails using the same dowel and cam lock method.
Install Center Support Beam:
- Place the adjustable steel beam centrally between the side rails.
- Attach the beam to the pre-drilled holes in the side rails using the provided wood screws and a screwdriver.
- Extend the beam legs to touch the floor and lock in place.
Final Tightening:
- Ensure the frame is square. Go to all four corner cam locks and fully tighten them with the hex key.
- Check that all connections are firm and the frame does not wobble.

Mattress Installation

Place Slatted Bed Base: Unroll the LURÖY slatted bed base and place it on the support ledges inside the side rails. Ensure it is centered.
Add Mattress: Carefully place your queen-size mattress (60" x 80") onto the slats. Center it on the frame.
Final Check: Ensure the mattress sits evenly and does not overhang the frame significantly.

Tip: For optimal mattress support, the slats should be curved side up.

Care & Maintenance

Wood Care: Wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution. Do not use abrasive cleaners, ammonia, or silicone polishes.

Upholstered Headboard: Vacuum regularly with a soft brush attachment. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not soak.

General: Tighten screws and cam locks every 6-12 months to maintain stability. Avoid placing in direct sunlight or high-humidity areas.
