This document outlines the assembly instructions and safety guidelines for the Coaster Fine Furniture Staircase Chest Twin/Twin Bunk Bed, Item 460362 (B1 - B4). This bunk bed system is designed for home use and is not intended for commercial establishments.
Function Description
The Coaster Staircase Chest Twin/Twin Bunk Bed is a versatile furniture piece that functions as a space-saving sleeping solution, offering two twin-sized beds stacked vertically. A key feature of this bunk bed is the integrated staircase chest, which provides convenient access to the upper bunk while also offering storage space through its drawers. The design allows for the beds to be used as a stacked bunk bed configuration or as two separate floor-standing twin beds, providing flexibility in room arrangement. The staircase chest is an integral part of the bunk bed structure, enhancing both safety and utility.

Usage Features
- Dual Configuration: The bunk bed can be assembled as a stacked twin/twin bunk bed or as two independent twin beds, offering adaptability to changing needs or room layouts.
- Integrated Staircase Chest: This design provides a safer and more stable way to access the upper bunk compared to traditional ladders. The chest also incorporates drawers, offering valuable storage space within the bedroom.
- Space-Saving Design: Ideal for smaller rooms or shared bedrooms, maximizing floor space by stacking two beds.
- Safety-Focused Access: The staircase design, with its wider steps, is generally considered safer and easier for children to use than a vertical ladder.
- Guardrails: The inclusion of guardrails on the upper bunk ensures the safety of the occupant, preventing accidental falls.
Maintenance Features
- Periodic Checks: Users are instructed to periodically check and ensure that the guardrail, ladder (staircase), and other components are in their proper position, free from damage, and that all connectors are tight. This proactive maintenance helps maintain the structural integrity and safety of the bed.
- Replacement Parts: Replacement parts, including additional guardrails, can be obtained from any Coaster Furniture Dealer. This ensures the longevity of the product and the ability to replace worn or damaged components.
- Warning Label: The warning label on the bed should not be removed, as it contains important safety information.
- Cleaning: While not explicitly detailed, general furniture care practices would apply, such as wiping surfaces with a damp cloth and avoiding harsh chemicals to preserve the finish.
- No Modifications: Users are warned not to attempt to repair or modify parts that are broken or defective. Instead, they should contact the store immediately. This prevents improper repairs that could compromise the bed's safety.
- Instruction Retention: Users are advised to keep the assembly instructions for future reference, which is useful for reassembly, troubleshooting, or identifying parts.
Safety Warnings and Guidelines
The manual emphasizes several critical safety warnings to prevent serious or fatal injury:
- Ladder/Staircase Attachment: When used as bunk beds, the staircase MUST be securely attached to the upper bunk rail at all times.
- Ladder/Staircase Storage: If used as two separate floor-standing beds, the staircase MUST be stored in a separate location where children cannot use it.
- Proper Ladder/Staircase Use: The staircase should ONLY be used to access the top unit when configured as bunk beds and only if securely attached. Misuse or unauthorized use can lead to injury.
- Age Restriction: Children under 6 years of age should not use the upper bunk.
- Occupancy Limit: Prohibit more than one person on the upper bunk.
- No Horseplay: Do not allow horseplay on or under the bed, and prohibit jumping on the bed.
- No Substitute Parts: Do not use substitute parts; contact the manufacturer or dealer for replacement parts.
- Night Light: A night light may provide added safety for a child using the upper bunk.
- Mattress Type: The use of water or sleep flotation mattresses is prohibited.
- Strangulation Hazard: Never attach or hang items to any part of the bunk bed that are not designed for use with the bed (e.g., hooks, belts, jump ropes).
Failure to follow these warnings and assembly instructions will void all liability of Coaster Company of America for damages and injury.
