Astrid Bed -assembly instructions Headboard Assembly Bed Deck x2 Base Assembly x2 Your Astrid bed is delivered in either two or three boxes depending on whether you have ordered a bed with headboard or platform bed. Unpack the bed parts onto a soft, level surface in a space near where the bed is to be used. Tools required for assembly - Allen wrench (included) and Phillips head screw driver. Step 1 Attach a center support leg to each of the base assemblies using one 1 3/4 pan head screw per leg. 1 3/4 Pan Head Screw x2 Center Support Leg x2
Step 2 Joining Plate x2 1 1/2 Allen Bolt x36 Adjustable Feet Attach the base assemblies with the two joining plates and four 1 1/2 Allen bolts per each plate using the provided Allen wrench. Hint - use the adjustable feet on the center support legs to align the height of the two base units. After the base units are joined, retract the adjustable feet slightly so that they only make contact with the floor when weight is applied to the fully assembled bed. Step 3 Position the two deck assemblies on top of the base, aligning the hole patterns of the deck with those of the base. Note - the base assembly has no specific headboard or footboard ends. Step 4 2 Allen Bolt x8 Corner Locations Insert the 2 Allen bolts in each of the eight corner locations. Do not fully tighten bolts. Insert the 28 remaining 1 1/2 Allen Bolts in the remaining locations. Again, do not fully tighten. After all bolts have been started use the Allen wrench to fully tighten all 36 locations. Note: wood is a natural material and prone to slight movements over time. Certain parts may require some minor flexing to begin the bolts. This is normal and to be expected. If you have purchased an Astrid platform bed with no headboard, assembly is complete. If your bed includes a headboard then proceed to step five.
Step 5 Headboard Assembly - Solid or Split Headboards Brace Brace with Mark toward center of bed Slightly loosen all Allen 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. This will be a snug fit. Note on Split Headboard Version: To preserve visual continuity of the wood grain, the panels of the Split Headboard version have been cut from a single larger panel. Each of the two headboard assemblies has a mark on the bottom of one of the vertical braces. For each assembly, the brace with the mark should be positioned toward the center of the bed. Step 6 Barrel Nuts x4 3 Allen Bolts x4 Insert a barrel nut into each of the headboard brace. The hash mark on the front of the nut should be aligned vertically. Insert the 3 Allen Bolts through the underside of the deck and into the barrel nuts. Fully tighten each bolt with the Allen Wrench. Once the braces are in place, retighten the four bolts on the back of the headboard panel. For the split headboard version, repeat Steps 5 and 6 for the other headboard assembly.
Step 7 - 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 an extra 4 of height to the headboard. 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. 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.
Astrid Bed Care Instructions Important: Please Note: Beds must be disassembled before moving to avoid damage. Never attempt to move the bed while it is assembled. To care for and preserve the finish on your new Copeland Furniture piece, please keep the following recommendations in mind. While our furniture has been finished with a durable top coat, the surface may be sensitive to dents and abrasions during the first 30 days in your home. Treat the surface finish gently so it does not dent or chip. Tape or stickers should not be put on the finish. For general care use a soft cloth to dust the furniture. Use damp cloth with a mild, pure soap to clean-up spills or dirt. Dry the surface thoroughly. Please do not use any polishes, waxes or sprays to clean the surface of the furniture. This holds true for new Copeland Furniture pieces as well as items you may already have in your home. Please do not place any candles directly on the surface of your furniture. The perfumes and dyes in the candles may penetrate the finish. Special Care Instructions for Cherry Furniture - Please read the following if you have purchased a Copeland product in cherry. Furniture that has been crafted from cherry wood becomes darker with age. The change in color, from a reddish tan to a reddish brown, is most noticeable during the first six months of ownership. It is important to understand that exposure to light accelerates the natural oxidization process. An object left on a cherry wood surface for an extended period of time may retard the aging process in a limited area. Simply remove the object and, over time, the surface will attain a uniform reddish brown color.
