Choose the best face for each Bed Face Panel (6)
and position those faces down. Apply Veneer Edge
Banding (48) to the outside edges and to the edges
that will show at the foot of the bed. Trim excess.
Position the left and right Side Rails (3) against the
Inner Frame Sides (2) so that the Female Metal
Pivots (29) are on the inside and the Bed Ball Stud
Plates (27) are on the outside. Make sure that the
front, back and bottom edges of the Side Rails (3)
are flush with the frame. From the inside, drill eight
1/8" pilot holes (two between each Frame Strut)
through the frame and into each Side Rail (3).
