Step 2
Attach the base assemblies with the two joining plates and four 1 1/2” Allen bolts per each plate using the provided
Allen wrench. Hint - use the adjustable feet on the center support legs to align the height of the two base units. After
the base units are joined, retract the adjustable feet slightly so that they only make contact with the floor when weight is
applied to the fully assembled bed.
Step 3
Position the two deck assemblies on top of the
base, aligning the hole patterns of the deck with
those of the base.
Note - the base assembly has no specific headboard
or footboard ends.
Step 4
If you have purchased an Astrid platform bed with no headboard, assembly is complete. If your bed includes a
headboard then proceed to step five.
2” Allen Bolt x8
• Insert the 2” Allen bolts in each of the eight
corner locations. Do not fully tighten bolts.
• Insert the 28 remaining 1 1/2” Allen Bolts in the
remaining locations. Again, do not fully tighten.
• After all bolts have been started use the Allen
wrench to fully tighten all 36 locations.
Note: wood is a natural material and prone to slight
movements over time. Certain parts may require some
minor flexing to begin the bolts. This is normal and to
be expected.

Corner Locations

• Insert a barrel nut into each of the headboard brace. The hash mark on the front of the nut should be aligned
vertically.
• Insert the 3” Allen Bolts through the underside of the deck and into the barrel nuts. Fully tighten each bolt
with the Allen Wrench.
• Once the braces are in place, retighten the four bolts on the back of the headboard panel.

Note on Split Headboard Version: To preserve visual
continuity of the wood grain, the panels of the Split
Headboard version have been cut from a single larger
panel. Each of the two headboard assemblies has a
mark on the bottom of one of the vertical braces. For
each assembly, the brace with the mark should be
positioned toward the center of the bed.

Step 7 - optional
• Your Astrid headboard may be positioned in two heights depending on the thickness of the mattress used. The bed comes
packaged with the headboard in the lower position.
• To Adjust the height, use the Allen wrench to unscrew all the bolts at the back of each headboard panel.
• By rotating the panels 180 degrees you will add an extra 4” of height to the headboard.
• To reattach, begin but do not fully tighten all bolts in each of the two panels.
• After all bolts have been started, use the Allen wrench to fully tighten all locations.

Note on Split Headboard Version - In order to preserve the continuity of the
wood grain across the two panels, be sure to rotate them as if they were a single
panel as in the diagram.

Astrid Bed Care Instructions
Special Care Instructions for Cherry Furniture - Please read the following if you have purchased
a Copeland product in cherry.
Furniture that has been crafted from cherry wood becomes darker with age. The change in color, from a
reddish tan to a reddish brown, is most noticeable during the first six months of ownership. It is important to
understand that exposure to light accelerates the natural oxidization process. An object left on a cherry
wood surface for an extended period of time may retard the aging process in a limited area.
Simply remove the object and, over time, the surface will attain a uniform reddish brown color.
If you have any questions or difficulties, please call us at the number below between the hours of 8:00 am and 4:30 pm eastern time.

Important: Please Note:
Beds must be disassembled before moving to avoid damage. Never attempt to move the bed while it is assembled.
To care for and preserve the finish on your new Copeland Furniture piece, please keep
the following recommendations in mind.
• While our furniture has been finished with a durable top coat, the surface may be sensitive to dents and
abrasions during the first 30 days in your home.
• Treat the surface finish gently so it does not dent or chip. Tape or stickers should not be put on the finish.
• For general care use a soft cloth to dust the furniture.
• Use damp cloth with a mild, pure soap to clean-up spills or dirt. Dry the surface thoroughly.
• Please do not use any polishes, waxes or sprays to clean the surface of the furniture. This holds true for new
Copeland Furniture pieces as well as items you may already have in your home.
• Please do not place any candles directly on the surface of your furniture. The perfumes and dyes in the candles
may penetrate the finish.
