Project Start-Up
Steps to Complete Project
Prep. Cut and prepare all wood or laminate cabinet components.
1. Assemble Bed Cabinet
2. Fasten Bed Cabinet to Wall
3. Assemble Side Cabinets, left and right
4. Position and secure Side Cabinets to Bed Cabinet
5. Install Steel Support
6. Install Aluminum Rail Tracks
7. Assemble Sliding Bookcases, left and right
8. Mount Sliding Bookcases
Familiarize yourself with all of the components in the Library Bed cartons and
thoroughly study this manual so you may plan the steps required to complete this
project.
Study all illustrations and plan drawings. Make sure that the space available is
adequate for the specified dimensions of the bed cabinet, both in the open and
closed positions.
Panels should be 3/4” (19mm) ply core. Particle board is acceptable but with
more attention given to assembly procedures and handling. This is discussed
further in this manual.
Handles to pull the bed open are not provided. Select these from your local deco-
rative hardware supplier. Have them on site at the time of assembly.
Check to be sure that all items are available
