How to Assemble the Nest Bed Frame: A Step-by-Step Guide
If you've recently purchased the Nest bed frame, you are in for a treat! As you noted, this is one of the best-selling products on fdfurniture.ca. Available in a stylish Greyish Beige and spanning sizes from Twin to King, it is a fantastic addition to any bedroom. To help you get set up quickly and safely, we’ve put together this comprehensive assembly guide based on the official instructions. Tools and Hardware Required Before you begin, make sure you have everything you need. The good news is that almost everything comes right in the box! Included Hardware: 1x JCBB Bolt M8 x 50mm 1x M5 Allen Key (Ball Shape) Required Tools (Not Included): Screwdriver Parts Included: Headboard (A) and Footboard (B) Left Side Rails (C) and Right Side Rails (D) - 2 pieces each Metal Centre Rail (E), Metal Centre Support Leg (F), and Metal Centre Support (G) 4x Bed Legs (H) 2x Sets of Bed Slats (I) Pro Tip: Take all of the parts out of the back of the Headboard (A) before you start looking around for missing pieces! Important Safety Warnings To ensure a smooth installation and avoid damaging your new bed, keep these crucial cautions in mind: Protect your floors and the bed: Place all wooden furniture parts on a clean, flat, and soft surface to prevent any scratching. Don't jump the gun on tightening: Do not FULLY-TIGHTEN the nuts or bolts until the frame is fully assembled and ready. Avoid thread damage: Do not OVER-TIGHTEN the nuts or bolts. Child safety: Keep all hardware parts completely out of the reach of children. Step-by-Step Assembly Instructions Step 1: Unpack the Headboard Compartment Open the zippered compartment on the Headboard Back (A) and remove all packed components: Footboard (B), Side Rails (C & D), Metal Rails (E & G), Support Leg (F), Bed Legs (H), and Bed Slats (I). Step 2: Attach the Bed Legs Twist and secure the four Bed Legs (H) directly into the bottom corners of both the Headboard (A) and the Footboard (B). Step 3: Prep Headboard and Footboard Bolts Using the M5 Allen Key (2), slightly loosen the pre-inserted bolts on the inner sides of both the Headboard (A) and Footboard (B). Do not remove them completely. Step 4 & 5: Unfold the Metal Support Rails Centre Rail: Unfold the brackets on the Metal Centre Rail (E) so they extend straight out. Cross Support: Similarly, unfold the arms of the Metal Centre Support (G). Step 6: Assemble the Centre Support Core Lay the Metal Centre Rail (E) across the Metal Centre Support (G) to form a cross grid. Insert the Metal Centre Support Leg (F) underneath the centre intersection, securing it from the top using the JCBB M8 x 50mm Bolt (1) and tightening it with the Allen Key (2). Step 7: Prep the Side Rails Locate your first pair of Side Rails (C & D). Use the Allen Key to loosen the pre-inserted bolts on their ends. Step 8: Mount the Centre Support Grid Drop the assembled metal centre grid (E & G) onto the loosened bolts of the Headboard (A) and Footboard (B). Important: Leave these screws loose for now; do not tighten them completely. Step 9 & 10: Install the Side Rails Step 9: Hook the first set of Side Rails (C-Left and D-Right) onto the corresponding pre-inserted bolts on the headboard, footboard, and the centre support cross-arms. Keep the screws loose.Step 10: Repeat the process for the remaining Side Rail sections (D-Left and C-Right). Secure the Frame: Once all side rails are perfectly aligned and in place, go back and firmly tighten all bolts from Steps 8, 9, and 10 using your Allen key. Step 11: Lay the Bed Slats Unroll and position the two sets of Bed Slats (I) across the inner ledge of the bed frame structure. Step 12: Final Check Your Nest Bed Frame is fully assembled! Maintenance Tip: Moving Your Bed If you ever need to rearrange your room or move the bed's position, there is one vital rule to remember: The centre support legs must be adjusted or straightened when moving. Failing to do so can result in broken support legs. Enjoy your brand new Nest bed frame!
