INFORMATION

Step 1   Extended Frame

Layout

Lay out your frame and hardware. Note that the footboard and backboard usually have grooved bottoms. The grooves should face in towards each other. Make sure all frame boards have finished surfaces facing down on the floor.  
{ step 1 }

Assembly

Assemble the frame with the hardware, usually corner brackets. Be sure to use the screws provided. The side frame boards extend past the headboard. This is to support the bookcase headboard.

You can use a deck board to ensure the internal distance is right. Lay one piece of the decking down at the foot. Then bring the head up to the decking until it fits (usually in a groove). Attach hardware, then remove decking board.
{ step 2 }

Positioning

Position your frame exactly where you want it in your room.
{ step 3 }

Bookcase

This photo shows the headboard being positioned. This is only a check, it should not be attached at this time.
