ASSEMBLY TIPS
We recommend that
two people assemble
our products.
Throughout these
instructions you’ll be
tasked with moving
parts, which can
sometimes be heavy.
Always take proper
precautions when
lifting heavy objects
and use at least
two people when
necessary. Steps where
two people are most
recommended will be
marked with the icon
above.
When you’re ready
to begin assembly,
always give yourself
su cient time so that
you won’t be distracted
during assembly.
Assembly time can
vary greatly from
person-to-person as
everyone has di erent
skill levels using hand-
tools. The normal time
for assembling this
product is between
4-7 hours. Your time
may vary from this
depending on how
your bed is con gured
and external factors
such as how level your
 oor is.

6Unpacking Your BredaBed & Frequently Asked Questions
I’m missing parts or hardware for my bed.
If you suspect anything is missing, take inventory of the parts you do have using
the part/hardware lists and note any other parts/hardware you may be missing.
Often times, parts or hardware can get misplaced and will turn up later, so double
check your work area and any other places it may be. If you still cannot  nd it,
contact us and we’ll be glad to send you more parts/hardware, be sure to have
your order number ready and a list of all missing parts/hardware.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I have damaged parts on my bed, what do I do?
Do not begin assembly! As soon as you  nd damage, send us an email at
[email protected] with pictures of the damaged areas, part name(s)
(found on the part label), provide your order number and any other additional
information. We prioritize remake parts to be sent within a few business days; be
sure to notify us immediately. We provide a Fil-Stick in Hardware Package #10 that
matches the color of your bed to  x minor chips on the edges of the panels.
I’m finished with assembly, but I have extra parts leftover.
This is normal, we provide extra hardware with each bed model as a convenience.
Once assembled, you can discard this additional hardware.
Why don’t the illustrations match my parts?
The illustrations in the booklet match a Queen size. If your bed is a di erent size,
the illustrations may be slightly di erent, however installation is identical. In
addition to this, sometimes elements in the illustrations are not shown for clarity.
UNPACKING YOUR BREDABED
When you  rst receive your BredaBed, it will be loaded on a pallet with banding. This
banding can be cut carefully with a utility knife and the individual pieces can be carried to
where the bed will be assembled. When handling panels, take special precaution to avoid
scratching and chipping on the corners and side edges. If the bed won’t be assembled for
an extended period of time, store the panels  at on the ground on top of a soft surface,
such as a rug or carpet. Usually, when parts or hardware are reported as missing, they
are often just misplaced and turn up later, so be sure to keep all hardware and boxes
together. Inspect the panels for damage and take inventory using the “Parts List” on the
following pages to verify you have everything. When you’re ready to begin assembly,
have all parts, hardware and tools in your work area. Do not unpack hardware until
instructed to do so. Additionally, keep children and pets away from work area
during assembly for their safety.
What type of mattress can I use?
Our beds will work with any mattress up to 13” thick and under 110 lbs, however we
recommend keeping the thickness under 11” so the headboard can sit at a slight angle.
Verify sizes and weights when purchasing a mattress. Inner-spring and memory foam
mattresses are compatible, but latex mattresses are not recommended. Your bed comes
with an optional strap to help keep the mattress in place for thicker or  oppy mattresses.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The Bed Cabinet bottom needs to be moved left or right. See Chapter 7, Step 1.
The Bed Face Panel is not even side-to-side or the legs hit left/right side.
If the notch wasn’t customized during ordering, you can notch the wood panels
with a saw. Alternatively, you can remove or notch the baseboard.
The Bed Cabinet hits my baseboard.
Screws on each hinge plate control adjustment (see: https://breda.us/hinges):
• The front screw controls the side-to-side adjustment.
• The back screw controls the depth.
• The top and bottom screws are used to adjust the door higher or lower.
Hinges on hutch doors need to be adjusted.
Metropolitan beds have a recessed area on the doors. This area is marked as a
screw-free zone in Chapter 4. Contact BredaBeds to discuss replacement options.
Metropolitan Beds: The screws are poking through the thin areas on the doors.
The instructions in this booklet are for attaching a bed to wood wall studs. If your
wall backing varies from this visit: https://breda.us/walls for guidance.
I don’t have wood studs in my wall to attach the Bed Cabinet to.
The bed doors hit the Toe Kick when opened.
• The steel frame must be 1/2” back from the Mechanism End. See Chapter 4, Step 3.
• Verify the Toe Kick is not upside down. See Chapter 2, Step 4.
• If the Bed Cabinet is sitting on carpet, the bed must be shimmed higher.
• Frame must be 1/2” back from the Mechanism End. See Chapter 4, Step 3.
• Verify the bolts in Hole #2 (10 1/2” from frame end) and Hole #3 (19 1/4” from
frame end) are inserted and securely tightened. See Chapter 5, Step 4.
The bed doors do not hit the top shelf and fall inside of the Bed Cabinet.
The way the legs are shaped prevent the legs from slipping out from under the
bed without rst raising up on the Bed Face Panel. If your legs are slipping out, it’s
usually one of the following issues:
• When opening the bed, be sure both legs are extended all the way down.
• Check that the leg stop cylinder is in the bottom hole (see Chapter 4, Step 2) and
that the leg connector rod has been installed (see Chapter 6, Step 4).
• If the legs hit against the bed doors instead of the cylinder, verify the frame is
1/2” back from the Mechanism End (see Chapter 4, Step 3).
The legs slip out from under the bed or have pulled out from the round leg disks.
The mattress and bedding should be in place to determine the proper spring
tension. See Chapter 7, Step 2 for spring adjustment. If the bed won’t close all the
way, verify the headboard is adjusted for your mattress thickness (during Chapter
1) and pillows are not near the headboard or have been completely removed.
The bed doesn’t stay closed/open.
Contact us to discuss attachment. Email us at [email protected] showing
a photo of your Bed Cabinet with tape marking where your studs are located.
I have 3 or less stud locations to attach the Bed Cabinet to.

Before You Begin
Installation tools that are required
☐Cordless Drill or Impact Driver ☐#2 Phillips Screwdriver ☐#2 and #3 Phillips bit
☐Stud Finder ☐Drill Bit Set ☐Socket Set
☐Level ☐1/2” Wrench or Adjustable wrench ☐Tape Measure
☐Ladder or Step Stool ☐Rubber Mallet ☐Gloves (Optional)
UNDERSTANDING CAM FITTINGS
The unit is assembled using what’s known
as cam ttings. This system allows for
easy and exact alignment of parts and
are what secures the bed pieces together.
There are two parts to this system: the
cam ttings (Fig. A) found in hardware
package #6 and cam screws (Fig. B) found
in hardware package #1. When inserting
cam ttings, it’s important to properly align the at part of the tting with
the edge of the board (Fig. C). Cam ttings are tightened by inserting a #1
Phillips screwdriver at a slight angle through the top hole and twisting until
snug (Fig. D). Once tightened, cam ttings have an equal holding strength
as screws. Never use an electric drill to
tighten cam ttings, always hand-tighten.
FIG. A FIG. B
FIG. C FIG. D
Turn cam ttings clockwise until snug,
being careful not to over-tighten
which can cause breakage.
PREPARING THE WORK AREA
Use the dimensions below to clear a wall area where the bed will be attached. The
middle of the room should also be clear and you should have all parts, hardware
and tools in your work area.
Need to calculate the clearance for ceiling fans, lights, etc? Visit: https://breda.us/arc

Green Boxed Areas: BredaBeds Murphy
Beds are designed for a mattress
thickness of 11” or under, however
this area is adjustable for mattress
thicknesses greater than 11” if needed.
Use only 1 cam screw per box (2 total)
from Hardware Package #1:
• Holes ‘A’ (closest to panel midpoint)
are for mattresses up to 11” thick.
• Holes ‘B’ (hole closest to panel edge)
are for 11” to 13” thick mattresses.
Even though we provide this adjustment,
we highly recommend using a
mattress that is 11” or under so that
the headboard will sit at an angle to
minimize the gap between the wall and
the mattress.
Thus we recommend using holes ‘A’.
Purple Boxed Areas: These areas
are for attaching the Bottom Nailer
later during assembly, which can be
adjusted if necessary, e.g.: low outlets.
Use only 2 cam screws per box (4
total) from Hardware Package #1 at
the dimensions listed. If later during
assembly you need to adjust the Bottom
Nailer, just make sure to keep one empty
hole between the two holes you use.
Using “Bed Left Side” and the reverse side of “Right Hutch
Left Side”, insert cam screws from hardware package #1 in
holes marked with a red circle using a cordless drill.

STEP 1
FIG. 2A
OVERVIEW: You’ll now assemble the Bed Cabinet on the oor directly in front of the wall where the
bed will attach, then tilt the unit up. To do this, you’ll need at least 3 extra inches of height clearance.
If the height of your room is shorter than this, you’ll have to assemble the Bed Cabinet vertically.

18 Chapter 2: Bed Cabinet assembly.
Lower “Bed Cabinet Top Nailer” onto “Bed Cabinet Top” as
shown in Fig. 2C and tighten cam tting using a #2 Phillips
screwdriver. Note: Make sure cam ttings are facing toward and
aligned to this back edge of the “Bed Cabinet Top” as illustrated
below. Reverse the top nailer (rotate end-to-end) if the edges
don’t align (the cams are intentionally oset to one side).
STEP 3
Position the “Bed
Cabinet Left
Side” on its edge
with notch for the
baseboard facing
up and position the
top assembly from
previous step with “Bed Cabinet Toe
Kick” closest to the wall where bed will
be attached. Slide in direction of arrows
and tighten all cam ttings. The Toe Kick
cams face up and tighten from the top
side. The unnished side of the Toe Kick
will be exactly ush with the unnished
edge of the cabinet side. If there is
a 1/4” dierence, turn the Toe Kick
around 180 degrees (use the other two cams on the opposite side).
STEP 4
FIG. 2D
From the perspective shown, cam ttings on the Toe Kick should be facing up,
and tighten from the top side. If assembling vertically, these cam ttings
should face the wall the Bed Cabinet will attach to. Once assembled, cam
ttings on these parts should not be visible.
CAM FITTINGS/SCREWS ARE OFFSET TO PREVENT THE TOP NAILER FROM BEING
INSTALLED BACKWARD. FROM THE VIEW ABOVE THE CAMS ARE FACING THE
CAMERA. ONCE ASSEMBLED, THESE WILL FACE THE WALL THE BED WILL ATTACH
TO AND NOT BE VISIBLE. DO NOT RE-DRILL HOLES IF THE CAMS DO NOT ALIGN.
FIG. 2C
Cam ttings should be turned approx. 1/4 turn until snug.
Over-tightening can cause them to break.

Attach “Headboard”
and “Bed Cabinet
Bottom Nailer” as
shown and tighten
cam ttings.
The Headboard will
normally sit at a slight
angle.
FIG. 2F
STEP 6
From the perspective shown, cam ttings on the Headboard and Bottom Nailer
should be facing up, and tighten from the top side. If assembling vertically,
these cam ttings should face the wall the Bed Cabinet will attach to. Once
assembled, cam ttings on these parts should not be visible.

20 Chapter 2: Bed Cabinet assembly.
Stand the Bed Cabinet upright
and against the wall at the
desired location. The Bed
Cabinet should be at against
the wall. Keep at least a 1/2”
clearance on the sides to allow
for later adjustment.
If your baseboard is larger
than the base notch
provided, please see the
Troubleshooting section on
Page 7.
FIG. 2G
STOP
Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, verify all cams are locked to the
connecting cam screw.
Are all cam fittings locked?
• Cam ttings on the Top Nailer, Bottom Nailer, Headboard and Toe
Kick should face the wall and NOT be visible from the front.
• Cam ttings on the Bed Cabinet Top should face down and WILL be
visible from below.
If any of these parts are backwards, they must be ipped around.
Are cams facing down or the wall?

Chapter 3: Attaching the Bed
Cabinet to the wall.
REQUIRED TOOLS REQUIRED HARDWARE
• Hardware Package #10 (white box)• Cordless Drill and/or Impact Driver
• #2 & #3 Phillips Bit
• 3/16” Drill Bit
• Countersink (or 3/8” Drill Bit)
• Stud Finder
• Level
Begin by leveling the Bed Cabinet. Place a level on the top of
the Bed Cabinet in the center. If the horizontal bubble on the
level is touching the left mark, place a shim under the right
side of the Bed Cabinet. If the bubble is touching the right
mark, place a shim under the left side of the Bed Cabinet. The
shim is tapered, so the further in you slide the shim, the more
it will raise that side of the bed. It may be necessary to stack
the shims for more height if the  oor varies greatly. Once the bubble is exactly
centered between the marks, the bed is level.
Now you will want to “plumb” the bed. Place the level against one side of the bed. If
the vertical bubble on the level is touching the left mark, the top of the Bed Cabinet
needs to move to the left. If the bubble is touching the right mark, the top of the
Bed Cabinet needs to move to the right. Once the bubble is exactly centered, place
a mark on the wall at the top edge of the side panels so you can return the bed to
this mark in case it moves before the Bed Cabinet is fully attached.
STEP 1
OVERVIEW: Now that the Bed Cabinet is assembled, we’ll be attaching it to the wall. This is
a crucial chapter that must be followed carefully. If the Bed Cabinet is improperly attached
to the wall, the bed could collapse at a later time and could result in serious injury.
IMPORTANT: If your bed is sitting on carpet, insert shims under each side panel to
raise the whole bed above the padding. Later during adjustment, the bottom of the
bed may need to be shifted which won’t be possible unless the whole unit is raised up
at this point. We recommend inserting the shims about half way, although thick carpet
should be shimmed a bit higher and thin carpet should be shimmed a bit lower.
