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 does not exceed 9 inches and the surface of
mattress must be at least 5 inches (127 mm) below the upper edge of
guardrails.
•Use only mattress which is 74"-75" long and 37.5"-38.5" wide on upper
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
not limited to, hooks, belts and jump ropes.

Important Safety Instructions:
•Please read all instructions carefully before assembling.
•For your safety, assembly by two or more adults is strongly recommended.

•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.

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.
