Step 1: Unboxing & Organizing

Instruction: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. You should have two main curved side panels, a center support beam, a sculpted headboard, a footboard (if included), and a hardware kit (bolts, screws, washers). Lay them out on a clean surface, verifying each piece against your assembly manual.

Step 2: Connecting the Curved Side Panels

Instruction: Identify the two wavelike side panels that form the bed’s main structure. Align the pre-drilled holes with the center support beam or crossbars. Insert the bolts or screws, leaving them slightly loose so you can adjust the frame if needed. Once the panels and support beam are in place, tighten all hardware evenly.

Step 3: Attaching the Sculpted Headboard

Instruction: Position the headboard at the top of the frame, matching its brackets or pre-drilled holes to the side panels. Insert and tighten the bolts. If the footboard is separate, repeat this process at the opposite end. Make sure the headboard is aligned so the sculpted curves flow seamlessly with the side panels.

Step 4: Installing the Mattress Support

Instruction: Depending on your design, you may have wooden slats or a platform board. Lay these across the frame, spacing them evenly if using slats. If screws or clips are provided, fasten each support securely. Double-check that everything is level to ensure a comfortable sleeping surface.

Step 5: Final Checks & Personalization

Instruction: Gently shake the bed to confirm stability. Tighten any loose bolts or screws. Wipe down all wooden surfaces with a soft cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. Finally, place your mattress on top, add linens, and style the bed with pillows or throws. The flowing curves and sculpted headboard create an elegant, organic centerpiece in any bedroom.

Conclusion
