Slightly loosen all hex bolts on the back
of the headboard assembly(s). Bolts
must be loose before proceeding. Insert
the vertical headboard braces onto the
pockets of the deck (for split headboard,
the brace with the mark should be
positioned toward the center of the bed).
This will be a snug fit.

Step 7:
Adjust headboard height (optional)
Your
Astrid
headboard
may
be
positioned in two heights depending on
the thickness of the mattress used. The
bed
comes
packaged
with
the
headboard in the lower position. To
adjust the height, use the Allen wrench
to unscrew all the bolts at the back of
each headboard panel. By rotating the
panels 180 degrees you will add and
extra 4
” of height to the headboard
(
Figure 7
). To reattach, begin but do not
fully tighten all bolts in each of the two
panels. After all bolts have been started,
use the Allen wrench to fully tighten all
locations.

Note on Split Headboard Version
– In order to preserve
the continuity of the wood grain across the two panels, be
sure to rotate them as if they were a single panel as in the
diagram.
