1. Assemble<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Assemble the frame, making sure the pieces fit together properly. See diagram below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Is all hardware included, even feet\/wheels? There is a bin of extra wheels and feet if needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Are any pieces broken or missing?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If you have an incomplete set, hold onto it until the entire pile of unprocessed frames is gone. The pieces may still be in the pile. <\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If something is broken or only fits a king bed, save the feet and put the metal in metal recycling. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n2. Determine Sizes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Inventory has 4 options: Twin<\/mark>,<\/mark> Twin-Full<\/mark>,<\/mark> Full<\/mark>,<\/mark> <\/mark>and<\/mark> Queen<\/mark><\/strong>. A bed that adjusts to twin, full, and queen <\/strong>can be labeled as either “Twin-Full” or “Queen”. We tend to need more twin-full frames, so use that label in most cases. If we\u2019re low on queen frames, label it a queen as long as it has a center support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- There are 2 boards marked with measurements that can be used to determine size. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n
