å Place your bed in its final location
with the bottom of the headboard end
approximately 15 inches from the wall.
å NOTE: Be sure to place your bed the
recommended distance from any walls,
windows, or objects in the room so that
you don't damage anything when flipping
your unit.
å With someone's help, carefully lean your
unit up on edge to create space to build the
platform/support in the next step.
å NOTE: You will need someone to hold the
unit to stabilize it while you continue in the
next step.
å The next step involves building the support
for underneath your bed so this requires
the support to be built near the bed's final
location for less movement or relocation.
