If at any point you feel confused, you may also watch a video of our “Low Profile Bed” being assembled at the link below. The video is no substitute for the more detailed instructions provided in the text guide below, but the video can be helpful to visualize some of the things stated in this guide.
Drill (Highly recommended)
9/16" Wrench (socket wrench preferred)
- Begin by clearing a large area to do the assembly in. (You’ll need the space.)
- Locate all 3 side rails and the corresponding back rail.
- Place the front/side rails and back rail face down on the ground making sure to match the ascending letters together (A with B, C with D, etc.) (example shown below)
- Place the corner blocks in their corresponding corners by matching their letters together (A with A, B with B, etc.)
- If assembling a “Royal Gorge Bed”, install the front stretcher within the black lines at the bottom of the front rail using the provided screws. If the front stretcher is already installed or if not assembling the “Royal Gorge Bed”, proceed to next step.
- Locate the 4” or 5” bolts and corresponding washers. Thread 1 washer onto each bolt.
- Begin attaching the bolts through the corner block into the front/side rails. Begin threading by hand, and then use the wrench to tighten. (There are two per side. Don’t tighten one all the way without beginning the other one as well, or they won’t be aligned.)
- Once this step is completed, all 4 sides (the 1 front rail, the 2 side rails, and the back rail) should be put together as pictured below.
Install slat #1 and slat #7 (#8 for a Cali King bed). The slat marked #1 should go right up against the edge of the footboard and #7 should go right up against the back (there are black lines to help you line them up with the pre-drilled holes. Use 1.25” screws to install into the pre-drilled holes.
- Assemble center support beam by attaching 2x4 legs to it using the 2.5” screws provided. If center support beam legs are already attached, move on to next step.
- Install center support beam by sliding it underneath the two slats already installed. Position it down the center of the bed, and attach it to the slats. Use 2 of the 2.5” screws provided (1 at each end using the pre-drilled holes).
- Locate the other 5 slats. The slats are numbered and the side rails are marked with lines for where to attach them. Attach the slats to the frame using the 1.25” screws sent with the bed. Attach them in ascending order. (See picture below)
- As stated in the listing, these beds are made to be wall-mounted unless specially requested to be otherwise. If you have received a wall-mounted headboard, use the “Wall Mounting Guide” to finish your install. If you have requested frame mounting, proceed through the following steps.
- Lay headboard face down on soft blanket, towels, or carpet
- Match the legs to their correct side by matching the corresponding letters together. Place the legs within the black lines drawn.
- Use the 2” screws provided to attach legs to headboard. Do not over tighten. Over tightening can cause stripping and reduce strength.
- Get the headboard into position. If helpful, place the headboard, on its legs, against the wall behind the bed frame as shown below.
- Line up the headboard legs within the black lines on the back rail of the bed frame. Install 4 of the 3” screws provided into the pre-drilled holes. Have friend help hold headboard if necessary.
