Use only the provided IKEA hardware. Do not substitute with other screws or tools.
Ensure all connections are tight and secure before use.

WARNING! Do not exceed the maximum weight limit of 300 lbs per side. Ensure the bed frame is placed on a level surface.

Follow these steps in order for proper assembly. Estimated assembly time: 45-60 minutes.

Prepare: Unpack all parts and lay them out. Identify each part using the parts list.
Attach Headboard & Footboard: Connect the side rails (101) to the headboard (102) and footboard (103) using wooden dowels (201) and cam locks (202). Tighten with the Allen key.
Install Center Support: Position the center support beam (104) across the middle of the frame. Secure with screws (203) to both side rails.
Place Slatted Bed Base: Lay the slatted bed base (105) onto the frame. Ensure it rests evenly on the support rails.
