Usage Features:
The assembly process is detailed and requires careful attention to instructions.
- Initial Setup: The headboard (A) and footboard (C) are first laid on a flat, non-abrasive surface.
- Bracket Attachment: Wood brackets (H) are attached to the headboard and footboard using Allen bolts (1) and the Allen wrench (2). It's crucial not to overtighten these bolts initially.
- Headboard and Side Rail Connection: The headboard is placed upright. Threaded rods (3) are manually screwed into the fixed nuts on the headboard. Side rails (B) are then aligned with the threaded rods, ensuring the rods pass through the bore holes on the side rails. Curved washers (4), lock washers (5), and hex nuts (6) are placed onto the threaded rods and tightened with the wrench (7). This process is repeated for both side rails to connect them to the headboard.
- Footboard Connection: The same procedure is followed to connect both side rails to the footboard.
- Support Leg Attachment: Support legs (F) are manually turned and attached to the slat supports (E).
- Slat Support Placement: Pre-installed wooden brackets on the inside of both headboard and footboard are used to set the slat supports. If necessary, the leveler on the bottom of the support leg can be adjusted to ensure the slat support is level.
- Bed Slat Installation: Individual bed slats (D) are placed into the cavities on the inside surface of both side rails.
- Platform Panel Placement: Platform panels (G) are placed on top of the bed slats and fixed in place using round head screws (8) and a Phillips screwdriver.
- Completion: Once all steps are followed, the assembly is complete, and the bed is ready for use.
Maintenance Features:
The care instructions for the Kempton Upholstered Platform Bed are straightforward, focusing on preserving the finish and upholstery:
- Dusting: Regular dusting is recommended using a clean, soft, dry, and lint-free cloth. This helps prevent dust buildup and maintains the appearance of the upholstered and finished surfaces.
- Spill Management: Spills should be blotted immediately and wiped with a clean, damp cloth. Prompt action can prevent stains from setting into the upholstery or damaging the finish.
- Cleaning Products: It is explicitly advised not to use chemical cleansers, abrasives, or furniture polish on the lacquered finish. These products can potentially damage the surface, leading to discoloration, dullness, or other forms of degradation.
Important Safety Instructions:
Safety is paramount during assembly and use:
- Read Instructions: All instructions must be read carefully before beginning assembly to ensure a clear understanding of each step.
- Two-Person Assembly: For safety, assembly by two or more adults is strongly recommended. This helps manage the weight and size of the components, reducing the risk of injury or damage to the furniture.
- Future Reference: The instructions should be kept for future reference, which can be useful for disassembly, reassembly, or troubleshooting.
- Authorized Hardware: Only vendor-supplied hardware should be used for assembly. Using unauthorized hardware could compromise the structural integrity of the item, potentially leading to instability or collapse.
