Step 1: Unboxing & Organizing

Instruction: Carefully unpack all components, which should include the curved wooden base sections (forming the arch), a headboard panel, side rails, and a hardware kit (bolts, screws, dowels). Lay everything out on a clean surface, verifying each item against your assembly manual.

Step 2: Connecting the Curved Base

Instruction: Identify the two arched base sections. Align the pre-drilled holes or brackets where they join in the middle. Use the bolts or screws provided to secure them, leaving the hardware slightly loose so you can make adjustments. Once the arch is stable and aligned, tighten the bolts evenly.

Step 3: Attaching the Side Rails & Headboard

Instruction: Next, position the side rails so that they connect the curved base to the headboard area. Align the pre-drilled holes on each rail with the brackets on the arch and the headboard. Insert the bolts, tightening them gradually to ensure the frame remains level. Place the headboard panel against the back brackets or dowels and secure it with the screws provided.

Step 4: Installing the Mattress Support

Instruction: Depending on your design, you may have wooden slats or a platform board. Lay these across the side rails, spacing slats evenly if applicable. If screws or clips are required, fasten each slat securely. Double-check that the support is level and stable, as this will bear the weight of the mattress.

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 and style the bed with linens. Add matching nightstands or modern décor to accentuate the striking curved design.
