🔧 How To Assemble & Setup Your Bunk & Loft Beds

How long does assembly take?

Assembly typically takes 1-2 hours with two people. Time varies based on:

Bed complexity (basic bunk vs. loft with stairs and storage)
Your experience with furniture assembly
Number of people helping

Tip: Read through the entire instruction manual before starting. Lay out all parts and hardware to ensure nothing is missing.

What tools do I need for assembly?

Most beds require basic tools:

Phillips head screwdriver (power screwdriver recommended but not required)
Adjustable wrench or socket wrench (typically 9/16")
Rubber mallet (optional but helpful)
Allen wrench/hex key (usually included with bed)

Important: Do NOT use power tools on all connections — some screws must be hand-tightened to avoid stripping threads or over-tightening.

Do I need two people to assemble the bed?

Yes, we strongly recommend having at least two people for assembly.

Why?

Large, heavy pieces need to be lifted and aligned
Installing the top bunk safely requires one person to support while another fastens
Proper alignment and stability are easier with help
Safety during assembly is improved

Can I disassemble and move the bed later?

Yes. Our beds are designed to be disassembled and reassembled for moves. Keep all hardware in a labeled bag and store the assembly instructions for future reference.

Moving Tips:

Take photos during disassembly to remember how parts fit together
Label parts with tape if needed
Keep all screws, bolts, and small parts in a sealed bag
Inspect hardware when reassembling — replace any damaged pieces
Re-tighten all connections after reassembly

What should I do if parts are missing or damaged?

If your item arrives damaged, defective, or not as described, contact us immediately. Please provide:

Photos or videos showing the issue
Photos of the shipping label
List of missing parts (refer to the parts diagram in your manual)

Depending on the situation, you may receive a full refund within 3 business days, or a replacement will be shipped within 3-5 business days.

What if I'm not confident assembling it myself?

Consider hiring a local handyman or furniture assembly service. Many services specialize in furniture assembly and can complete the job quickly and safely.

Important assembly safety tips

Clear a large workspace — you'll need room to lay out all parts
Inspect all parts before assembly for damage or defects
Follow instructions exactly — don't skip steps or improvise
Don't fully tighten screws until the entire frame is assembled and aligned
Double-check all connections are secure before use
Ensure the bed is level and doesn't wobble
Install all guardrails before allowing anyone to use the top bunk
