This document provides assembly instructions and safety warnings for the Pottery Barn Kids Treehouse Bunk bed. It is a detailed manual designed to guide users through the setup process and ensure safe operation of the bunk bed.

Function Description:

The Treehouse Bunk is a children's bunk bed designed to provide two sleeping surfaces within a single frame, saving space and offering a playful, themed design. It features a treehouse-like structure with panels that mimic windows and a roofline, creating an imaginative sleeping environment. The bunk bed includes a ladder for accessing the upper bunk and guardrails on both the upper and lower bunks to prevent falls. The design incorporates a sturdy frame capable of supporting two mattresses.

Important Technical Specifications:

Mattress Dimensions (Upper and Lower Bunk): 74"-75" long and 37.5"-38.5" wide.
Upper Bunk Mattress Thickness: Must not exceed 9 inches. The surface of the mattress must be at least 5 inches (127 mm) below the upper edge of the guardrails.
Lower Bunk Mattress Thickness: Only a 9" thickness mattress is recommended.
Age Restriction (Upper Bunk): Not suitable for children under 6 years of age.
Hardware: Includes various bolts (5/16"x110mm, 1/4"x78mm, 1/4"x54mm, 1/4"x30mm, 1/4"x22mm, 1/4"x17mm), barrel nuts (5/16"), spring washers (1/4"), flat washers (1/4"), long screws (4x30mm), short screws (4x19mm), an Allen key, and a mending plate.
Construction Materials: The manual implies a wooden construction, given references to "split wood" and "wooden dowels."
Safety Standards: Meets the requirements of ASTM F1427-13.

Usage Features:

Two-Tier Sleeping: Provides two separate sleeping areas, ideal for siblings or sleepovers.
Themed Design: The "treehouse" aesthetic with decorative panels and roof-like elements enhances a child's bedroom decor and encourages imaginative play.
Ladder Access: A dedicated ladder (H) is provided for safe entry and exit from the upper bunk.
Guardrails: Guardrails are present on both long sides of the upper bunk to prevent falls. The manual specifies that if the bunk bed is placed against a wall, the full-length guardrail should be positioned against the wall to prevent entrapment.
Adjustable Height (Implied): The instructions mention ensuring both upper and lower bunks are assembled to the highest position when used as a bunk bed, suggesting potential for alternative configurations (though not explicitly detailed in this excerpt).
Assembly: Requires assembly by two or more adults. Tools required include a Philips Head Screwdriver (not included) and the provided Allen Key. Power tools are not recommended for assembly to prevent damage to hardware and wood.
Warning Labels: Users are instructed not to remove warning labels from the bed.

Maintenance Features:

Regular Inspection: Periodically check and ensure that guardrails, the ladder, and other components are in their proper position, free from damage, and that all connectors are tight.
Hardware Tightening: Hardware may loosen over time, so periodic re-tightening is necessary to ensure all connections are secure.
Cleaning: Dust often using a clean, soft, dry, and lint-free cloth. Blot spills immediately and wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use chemical cleansers, abrasives, or furniture polish on the lacquered finish.
Replacement Parts: In case of damaged or missing parts, contact Pottery Barn Kids for replacements. Do not use substitute parts.
Refinishing: If refinishing is desired, use a non-toxic finish specifically designed for children's products.
Prohibited Items: Never attach or hang items (e.g., hooks, belts, jump ropes) to any part of the bunk bed that are not designed for use with the bed, as this poses a strangulation hazard.
Prohibited Usage: Do not allow horseplay or jumping on the bed. Prohibit more than one person on the upper bunk. The use of water or sleep flotation mattresses is prohibited.
