Start putting together this loft desk bed thing. You need to start off with these big three pieces and these are the two sides and this is the back and they go together with these. When you're putting these in make sure you don't tighten them down just put them in loose to start with. You're going to tighten these all down last. There's an included tool that goes in the back of these perfect fit. Told them together. Now there's a screw that goes in here and two down there same on the other side one on top two on the bottom. Start with the two on top get someone to help you to hold these in place as you lift that up line it up with the top hole on both sides probably one at a time. Don't try to do both at the same time once you have three people helping you. Maybe you could do both at the same time but start there and just get it to hang up and stick together kind of loosely and then you can move on to the next two and the next two and then the front and then you'll do bars that go in the back and then there's a ladder that goes on and then there's two squares that go down and mattress. You don't need a box spring with this back don't use a box spring with it because it'll put it up too high and you'll be sleeping basically above the railing and fall out a bit. And when you're lining these up make sure these tabs are sticking inward. That's what those boxes rest on. Right now I just have the top two in place just kind of holding this in place. Again make sure you have an extra hand to get this. Next up is this piece where the ladder goes and you can put it on that end or that end ladder go either place. You need five of these two here one there two down there and of course the wrench and if you don't want it on this side you'll need to take this out and move it to this side just depends on which side do it with the these two bars they go into these holes and then over the other side and you need eight of these two on each end of each bar. If they do loosely together these you don't want to tighten them down until you've got pretty much everything but the desk on. The bar goes across the middle and it takes these. So to secure this bar in place you start with these screws on the bottom put these in there be careful there's a sleeve in there don't want to have it get out of place or lose it this end goes in here and that end goes in the other side. One down you need to screw driver on one side and the allen wrench on the other side put it in before you put these in or you won't be able to get it in. This thing on the bottom of the ladder you lift it up and slide it underneath and stick it in there so that it doesn't slip out. There's the two screws you need for the ladder and there's the two screws holding the ladder in place. Make sure you put it on before you put the panel in here or you won't be able to unscrew it. Take these three hangers off before you put the desk in these three hangers down here but there are other hangers on there that you can keep on there and this desk is basically filled in by that and these hangers in. Need these two things and these things which screw apart and screw driver for both things. These things fit in here. These things hold these on. That just goes and there's one on each corner on both of these.
