| Original Vague Name | Actual Spec | Quantity | Purpose | |---------------------|-------------|----------|---------| | “Long bolt” | M6 x 70mm hex bolt | 4 | Mattress support brackets | | “Short bolt” | M6 x 40mm hex bolt | 8 | Side panel to head/footboard | | “Barrel nut” | 15mm cross-dowel nut | 8 | Receives short bolts | | “Wood dowel” | 8mm x 30mm | 6 | Alignment pins | | “Allen key” | 5mm hex wrench | 1 | Included (but poor quality) | Attach the support using the provided screws

Better tool: Use your own 5mm hex bit on a ratcheting screwdriver (less hand strain). Repeat the process on the other side of the left panel

This is the most critical step for safety.

Attach the support using the provided screws. Important: Use a level or measure from the floor to ensure the support is perfectly horizontal. A tilted mattress is unsafe.

Tighten all bolts from Step 1 now that the base is aligned.

Repeat the process on the other side of the left panel. Common mistake: People install the front rail upside down. Look for the smoother edge—that faces the room. The rougher, less-finished edge faces the mattress.
