Congratulations on purchasing your Organature Bed!
These assembly instructions apply for the following bed designs:
Eden, Esperance and Katherine bed bases
To assemble the bed:
- Pick up one of the long rails, you will notice one end is cut square, this is the head end of the bed, place it roughly where it is to go in the room.
- Read the number or letter inside the notches & find the corresponding numbers on the shorter cross pieces. The shorter pieces are the bottom pieces. Slot the pieces together making sure the numbers face each other, this will make sure the bed is assembled as it was in the workshop with the best side of the timber visible.
- If you have purchased an Esperance or Eden, you can now bolt the bed head on by putting all bolts in loosely then tighten them up.
- Finally it’s time to place the slats on the bed. Depending on the model you have chosen, there will be either three identical slats (in which case they can go in any order) or two identical and one odd slat (in which case the odd one should be placed in the middle, with the other slats placed so the smooth end faces the head & foot end).
- There should be a slight gap between each of the three slats at 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 leave a gap (as specified above) between each group of slats and the head and foot rails (we recommend keeping gaps even).
- Put the mattress on and relax — you’ve earned it.
