This product has been designed and made by
Totem Italia exclusively for Plyroom.
INTENTIONALLY SIMPLE
& HONEST DESIGN
This product is designed with a modern interpretation of mortise and tenon joinery,
the oldest and strongest form of joinery used by carpenters for thousands of years.
The precise interlocking parts are displayed throughout, and the pieces fit together
like a jigsaw, emphasising the characteristics of the natural materials used.
Each mortice and tenon join is locked in place with a
handmade oak dowel.
MINIMAL PACKAGING
You might notice that your item is packaged simply. This is intentional to minimise
waste as much as possible. The plastic wrapping used can be recycled at many
recycling centres rather than going to landfill.
ASSEMBLING YOUR FURNITURE
→Do
We ask that you take your time in assembling this piece of furniture. All pieces are
designed to lock together with precision.
Use a mallet to press mortise and tenon joins together so they are flush. If you don’t
have a mallet a hammer covered with a soft towel is fine.
Check all joins are flush before inserting the oak dowels.
Use a hammer to tap dowels in and fasten pieces together. Make sure the dowel is
straight before you hammer.
→Don’t
Use a mallet on the timber dowels as the soft head of the mallet will cause them to
snap.
PRODUCT CARE
For general care we recommend dusting with a clean, dry cloth, or wiping down
with soft cloth wrung dry from plain water (leaving the surface dry after cleaning).
Avoid detergents or solvents of any type.
IMPORTANT!
→Disassembling your frame
This piece is designed to be disassembled when required. Please note that when
disassembling, a hammer must be used to remove the dowels. ALWAYS hold the
hammer in line with the grain of the timber panel it fastens and use the prongs of
the hammer to lever the dowel out slowly. If this step is not followed it will result in
breakage of the dowel.
Once the timber dowel is removed the mortise and tenon pieces will come apart
with some gentle tapping with a mallet.

PARTS
There will be 2 spare dowels in your box to keep as spares.
→Cot assembly for lowered mattress position
Following from Step 1, lower mattress base C on all the support ledges
around the cot interior. Slide down part B2 ensuring that the openings of
the 3 circles close around the edges of B3. Secure B2 by inserting the F
dowel into the bottom circle on B2 on the outside of the cot. Lock this in
place and fasten the wooden screw securely by fastening the screw timber
H piece on the inside of the cot.
→Desk assembly
Connect B3 and B1 to both A sides, UPSIDE DOWN compared to the cot.
The protruding elements on B3 and B1 must fit into the respective holes on
A completely, if necessary use a mallet to lodge them fully in place. Fasten
the elements by inserting the 8 G dowels. Place the mattress base on the
support ledges of elements A, B1 and B3 to form the desk top.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
→Cot assembly for upper mattress position
From Step 1, secure the B2 side rail by inserting the F dowel into the
bottom circle on B2 on the outside of the cot. Lock this in place by turning
part H on the inside of the cot so the F dowel cannot be removed. Insert
element “D” in the middle opening of B1 and B2 as shown. Insert the 4 E
dowels in the corresponding openings on parts A. Fix the E dowels into
place by inserting 1 x G dowel into each E dowel inside of the cot. Lower
mattress base C on the 4 dowels, also taking care to insert the bulges on
piece D fully into the respective square openings on the base.
