General Specifications
Use and Warnings
Your child’s safety is our top priority. Please observe the following safety warnings to ensure the safe
use of this product:
● Weight limitation: minimum weight requirement for this bed is 50 lbs. This product is not to be
used by any occupant under 50 lbs. Do not let any child under 50 lbs. play or sleep on or around
the bed. Maximum weight is 350 lbs.
● Do not stand or sit on shelf.
● Do not stand, sit, or otherwise occupy or apply weight to bed slats until a mattress or box spring
has been installed. The slats are not rated or tested for individual loads without the application of
mattress or box spring.
● Do not allow jumping or horseplay on the bed.
● Do not use bed if any parts are missing or damaged.
● Do not use substitute parts. Contact manufacturer should replacement parts be necessary.
● Do not use a water or sleep flotation mattress.
● Before assembly and use, inspect bed for damaged hardware, loose joints, missing pieces or
sharp edges.
● Warning: hardware included with this product may have sharp points or edges. Assembly by an
adult is required. Keep all loose hardware out of reach of children.
● Warning: small parts are a choking hazard for children. Make sure that all hardware is properly
and tightly installed to prevent access to loose parts by children. Properly discard excess
hardware after assembly to prevent access of loose parts to children. Properly discard all
packing materials.
● Always make sure the mattress is firmly seated against the headboard. Excess space may
result in entrapment which may lead to serious injury or death.
●
● Warning: Linseed oil is used to create a smooth final surface on some materials. Although rare,
it is possible to have an allergy to linseed oil (just like peanut and soy oils). This may cause a
runny nose, sneezing, or in rare cases more fatal effects which can result in difficulty breathing
or death. Please verify that you or your child does not have an allergy to linseed oil before using
this product.

Care and Maintenance
● Check all fasteners periodically for tightness.
● Clean the surface using a slightly damp cloth if necessary. Do not use any corrosive cleaning
products or abrasives that may degrade or damage the surface. Furniture polish may be used to
clean dust off the surface.
● We recommend that any cleaning materials first be tested on a surface that would not be visible
during the course of normal use.
● Lift slightly when moving on carpet or rough surface to avoid bending or damaging the
supporting structure of the bed.
● Use of a vaporizer close to bed may cause the surface to swell and the surface to peel.
● Check the mattress periodically and when changing sheets to ensure mattress is tight against
headboard.
Assembly Notes
Hardware notes: do not fully tighten any fasteners until all hardware is in place. Failure to follow
these instructions may cause fasteners to misalign during assembly. If using power tools to aid in
assembly, use caution. Power tools may over-tighten fasteners and split or damage the material.
Tools required (not included):
Phillips head screw driver
7/16” wrench or adjustable wrench
Important Information
Each one of our beds is handmade, hand painted, and hand packaged. Minor imperfections may
occur that are not manufacturing defects, but rather a result of the handcrafting process that makes
our beds unique and special.
After unpacking, this product may have an associated smell for several days. This smell can be a
product of the natural linseed oils and/or remaining paint smell from being confined in packaging
and/or other products used in the preparation and manufacturing of the material, and to the best of
our ability does not contain harmful products. The smell should completely dissipate within several
days. The smell may be stronger on products with areas of exposed unpainted material, or with
products that have been packaged for an extended length of time. We use low-odor, zero VOC paint
where possible and do our best to keep unpleasant odors to a minium.
