How To Assemble Your Ottoman Bed

Now it's time to set up your dream bed! Assembling an ottoman bed is an easy process. All you need to do is follow the instructions properly. First, take your time to attentively unpack each and everything and familiarize yourself with all its accessories. Once you read the instructions, let's get started.

Tools Required: Spanners and Allen keys

Prepare Your Space

You need to have enough room space to assemble any bed. Make sure your room is empty so that after assembling, you can easily position it. To protect your flooring, lay down a mat on the ground. Place some thick material under the legs to stop the bed from moving.

Familiarize Yourself With Tools

Make sure you know which tool is used for what purpose. Set all the tools near you in order so that you know what you will be doing next.

Important Safety Points

All appropriate tools are assembled and within reach
Make sure the legs are in firm contact with the ground
Do not use any power tools as they may damage the product
Do not tighten all screws before adjusting all parts
Do not use the bed while installing the lifting mechanism
After installation, check if the mechanism is operating properly
