Congratulations on purchasing your Organature Bed!
These assembly instructions apply for the following bed designs:
Maldon, Richmond, Elliston and Lauriston
To assemble the bed:
- All beds are marked with a ‘B’ on the underside of the bed rails so you can easily assemble the bed the right way up. The ‘B’ is also marked on the bottom of the short legs on the foot end of the Richmond & Lauriston.
- Assembly for Richmond & Lauriston is more easily done by matching the numbers on the main frame pieces – ‘1’ with ‘1’, ‘2’ with ‘2’ etc., making sure the ‘B’ is facing the floor on all three pieces of timber. Loosely do up the bolts then match the short legs ‘A’ with ‘A’ & ‘B’ with ‘B’. Once the bolts are in, tighten all bolts (DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!).
- Now the long rails can be bolted to the bed head, two bolts each side (top & bottom) of each metal bracket. Once all four bolts are in, tighten them up. The slats will have numbers on to help you put them in the right position.
- Assembly for Maldon & Elliston – the rails have a ‘B’ marking on the underside of each rail. You’ll need someone to balance the bed head whilst you bolt the rail to it. Two bolts at each corner. One bolt top & bottom of each bracket. Once all bolts are tightened, the slats can be placed in position using the numbers on the slats.
- There should be a slight gap between each of the three slats and the head and foot rail or you may experience some creaking. If you do experience any creaking where timber meets timber, it will most likely be where one group of slats are rubbing up against another group of slats, or the head (or foot rail) is rubbing against the slats. Rubbing a bar of soap where the creaking is occurring should eliminate this.
- Finally, keep in mind that ideally, the placement of the slats should have a gap (as specified above) between each group of slats and the head and foot rails (we recommend keeping gaps even).
