WARNING:.Failure to follow these warnings and assembly
instructions could result in serious injury or death. To help prevent serious
or fatal injuries from entrapment or falls:
Read all instructions before assembling bunk bed.
Before each usage or assembly, inspect bunk bed for damaged hardware, loose joints, missing parts or
sharp edges. DO NOT use bunk bed if any parts are missing or broken.
DO NOT use substitute parts. Contact pottery barn kids for replacement parts and instructional literature if
needed.
Follow the information on the warnings appearing on the upper bunk end structure and on the carton. DO
NOT REMOVE WARNING LABEL FROM BED.
Always use the recommended size mattress or mattress support, or both, to help prevent the likelihood of
entrapment or falls.
Ensure thickness of mattress on upper bunk does not exceed 9 inches and the surface of mattress must be at
least 5 inches (127 mm) below the upper edge of guardrails.
Only use the 9" thickness mattress on the lower bunk.
Ensure both upper and lower bunk are assembled to the highest position when using the product as a bunk
bed.
Use only mattress which is 74"-75" long and 37.5"-38.5" wide on upper and lower bunk.
Do not allow children under 6 years of age to use the upper bunk.
Periodically check and ensure that the guardrail, ladder, and other components are in their proper position,
free from damage, and that all connectors are tight.
Do not allow horseplay on or under the bed and prohibit jumping on the bed.
Prohibit more than one person on the upper bunk.
Always use the ladder for entering and leaving the upper bunk.
Use of a night light may provide added safety precaution for a child using the upper bunk.
Always use guardrails on both long sides of the upper bunk. If the bunk bed will be placed next to the wall, the
guardrail that runs the full length of the bed should be placed against the wall to prevent entrapment between
the bed and wall.
The use of water or sleep flotation mattresses is prohibited.
If refinishing, use a non-toxic finish specified for children's products. STRANGULATION HAZARD - Never
attach or hang items to any part of the bunk bed that are not designed for use with the bed; for example, but

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
Please read all instructions carefully before assembling.
For your safety, assembly by two or more adults is strongly recommended.
Keep instructions for future use.
Use only vendor supplied hardware to assemble. Using unauthorized hardware could jeopardize the structural
integrity of the item.
PRE-ASSEMBLY:
Remove all parts and hardware from the box and lay out on a clear carpeted or scratch-free work surface, as this
will avoid damaging parts during assembly. The shipping box provides an ideal work surface.
Do not dispose of any packaging or contents of the shipping carton until assembly is completed to avoid
accidentally discarding small parts or hardware.
Use the parts and hardware lists below to identify and separate each of the pieces included.
The illustrations provided allow for easier assembly when used in conjunction with the assembly instructions.
The use of power tools to aid in assembly is not recommended. Power tools can damage hardware and split wood.
DO NOT fully tighten all bolts until all parts are in place. Failure to follow these instruction may cause the bolts
misalign during assembly.
