Step 1: Unboxing & Organizing

Instruction: Begin by carefully unpacking all components. You should have the main platform panels, a curved headboard panel (with a rounded corner), several wooden legs, and any necessary hardware (screws, bolts, dowels). Lay everything out on a clean surface, checking each part against your assembly manual.

Step 2: Attaching the Wooden Legs

Instruction: Identify the leg mounting points on the underside of the platform panels. Align each wooden leg with the pre-drilled holes, then secure it using the bolts or screws provided. Keep the bolts slightly loose until all legs are attached, allowing for minor adjustments.

Step 3: Connecting the Platform Sections

Instruction: If your bed design includes multiple platform panels, align them so they meet flush in the middle. Match any brackets or dowels in the pre-drilled holes, then insert and tighten the screws. Ensure the panels lie flat and even, as this step will determine the bed’s overall stability.

Step 4: Installing the Curved Headboard

Instruction: Once the platform is secure, flip it upright. Position the curved headboard along the back edge, aligning its bottom rail with the platform’s pre-drilled holes. Insert the bolts and tighten them evenly. The headboard may include a short shelf or small recessed area—confirm it’s level before fully tightening.

Step 5: Final Checks & Personalization

Instruction: Gently shake the entire bed to ensure stability. Tighten any loose bolts and wipe down all surfaces with a soft cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. Finally, place your mattress on the platform, add linens, and arrange any accent pillows. If the headboard includes a small ledge, consider adding decorative items or a reading lamp.

By following these five steps, you’ll have a modern, low-profile bed that combines comfort and style. The curved headboard offers a soft, inviting backdrop for relaxation, while the sturdy platform and wooden legs ensure lasting support.
