Usage Features & Assembly Process:
The assembly process is broken down into seven distinct steps, each with clear illustrations and instructions:
Step 1: Begin Assembling the Bed Frame.
- This step focuses on connecting the side rails (3 and 7) to the head rail (2) and foot rail (6).
- Hardware used: Bolts (A), Dowels (H), U washers (F).
- Tools used: Allen key (J), Timber gauge (B).
- Process:
- Screw bolts (A) and install dowels (H) into parts 3 and 7.
- Use the timber gauge (B) to set the bolt at the correct length, ensuring proper alignment.
- Connect part 7 to part 2, then repeat for part 3.
- Install U washers (F) over the bolts (A).
- Gently tighten all connections with the Allen key (J).
- This step is repeated for part 6, implying the foot rail is connected similarly to the head rail.
Step 2: Repeat for Part 6.
- This instruction confirms that the foot rail (6) is assembled in the same manner as the head rail, completing the rectangular bed frame.
Step 3: Install Legs.
- This step involves attaching the four main legs (8) to the assembled bed frame.
- Hardware used: Bolts (C), Washers (G).
- Tools used: Allen key (J).
- Process:
- Use bolt (C) and washer (G) to fit each leg (8) to the frame.
- Gently tighten using the Allen key (J).
- Repeat for all four legs.
- Maintenance Feature: For use on timber or hard floors, it is recommended to apply felt pads (I) at the bottom of the legs to prevent scratching and provide stability.
Step 4: Install Centre Legs.
- This step focuses on attaching the two centre legs (1) to the centre rail (5).
- Hardware used: Bolts (C), Washers (G).
- Tools used: Allen key (J).
- Process:
- The instruction "As per Step 3" indicates that the centre legs (1) are attached to the centre rail (5) using bolts (C) and washers (G) in the same manner as the main legs.
Step 5: Fit Centre Rail to Frame.
- This step integrates the assembled centre rail with its legs into the main bed frame.
- Hardware used: Bolts (E), Washers (G).
- Tools used: Allen key (J).
- Process:
- Use bolt (E) and washer (G) to fit the centre rail (5) to the frame.
- Gently tighten using the Allen key (J).
- Usage Feature: Adjust the centre legs' feet to the correct height to ensure even support and stability across the bed frame. This is crucial for preventing sagging and distributing weight effectively.
Step 6: Fit Headboard.
- This step attaches the headboard (9) to the bed frame.
- Hardware used: Dowels (H), Bolts (D), Washers (G).
- Tools used: Allen key (J).
- Process:
- Install 2x dowels (H) to the bed frame for alignment.
- Then, install the headboard (9) using 5x bolts (D) and 5x washers (G).
- Gently tighten using the Allen key (J).
Step 7: Fit Slats.
- This final assembly step involves placing the mattress support slats.
- Parts used: Slats (4).
- Process:
- Fit the slats (4) by simply placing them onto the designated slots on the bed frame. No hardware or tools are required for this step, indicating a drop-in design.
Maintenance Features:
- Floor Protection: The recommendation to apply felt pads (I) to the bottom of the legs is a key maintenance feature, preventing damage to flooring, especially timber or hard surfaces.
- Adjustable Centre Legs: The ability to adjust the height of the centre legs allows for fine-tuning the bed's support, which can help maintain the integrity of the mattress and frame over time.
- Gentle Tightening: The repeated instruction to "Gently tighten" bolts suggests a design that prioritizes careful assembly to avoid stripping threads or damaging components, contributing to the longevity of the furniture.
The Totem Road Lagos Bed is presented as a robust and well-designed piece of furniture, with a straightforward assembly process that results in a stable and comfortable sleeping solution. The inclusion of a timber gauge for bolt length and felt pads for floor protection highlights attention to detail in both assembly and long-term use.
