The Bastion Live Edge Bed Guide
Tools you will need:
- Drill (highly recommended)
-
1/2" Wrench (socket wrench preferred)
- A friend (highly recommended)
Step 1:
- Begin by clearing a large area to do the assembly in. (You’ll need the space.)
Step 2:
- Place the headboard against the wall where you would like the bed to be. Consider having a friend hold it in place for you to avoid tipping.
- Gently lay the footboard down where you would like it to go in the room.
- Gently lay the side rails in between the footboard and the headboard.
Step 3:
- Lift up the footboard and slide 1 side rail (not both) onto the footboard leg bolts. Slightly loosen the footboard leg bolts if the side rail won't slide down. (Note: the side rail must be oriented with the numbers facing upwards. If they are not facing upwards, spin the side rail around and attach it again).
- Now attach this exact same side rail to the headboard by sliding it onto the headboard leg bolts. (Note: it is especially helpful to have a friend help with this part, so as to make sure the headboard does not tip over during assembly.)
- Repeat all of step 3 to attach the other side rail to the footboard and headboard.
- Once both side rails have been slid into place, tighten the bolts securely with the wrench.
Step 4:
- Gather your slats. Find the one marked #1 and your last one. (Your last slat is typically #7 for King/Queen and #8 for a Cali King bed, but do check.) Install slat #1 and your last slat (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. (Note: Install into the concave pre-drilled holes.)
- 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 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.
