. Next locate the knobs inside hardware
bag labeled #5. The knobs go on the left and
right face panels near the center panel. These
will go on the framed part of the Framed Flat
Panel and Traditional Raised Panel beds. (1)
Measure down 18” from the top of the face
panel and put a mark. (2) Then find the cen-
ter of that framed part and put another mark
making an X or cross, where you will put the
screw hole. Drill a hole over the X but make
sure that it is not bigger than the screw head.
(3) Place the screw from the inside of the bed
out so that the knob can be attached from the
outside. (4) Tighten the knob.
- For Plain Panel beds as long as it is 18”
down from the top of the face panel it does
not matter how far over from the center panel
it is. Standard is 18” down and 1 1/2” over
onto the left and right face panels from the
center panel.

. While someone holds the face panels down, put
the left and right mattress panels back on the bed
and attach them with the 1 1/2” counter sink screws
that were used for the center one and place 8
screws in each just as you did with the center panel.
2 in the head rail strip, 2 in each cross rail and 2 in
the foot rail strip. Make sure that the legs are down
and someone is applying weight so that it does not
close up.

. Lay the mattress onto the mattress panels and fold the straps over the mattress. The bed should stay
down on the floor. If it comes up about an inch, that is normal and don't worry this is completely safe. It
will not rise up more than that and when any weight is applied it will go to the floor. This will happen on
occasion because the springs are not broken in yet, when they get a few uses it will touch the floor com-
pletely. When closing make sure to flip the legs up over so the rod is on top of the mattress. The bed
should close smoothly with little effort and stay closed tight at the top.
