Nymm Double Bed Assembly: Step-by-Step Guide

Quick Answer

Assembling your Nymm Double Bed is a straightforward project that takes about an hour with two people. Follow the steps below to secure the iron beams, attach the plywood supports, and set the headboard.

Assembly Steps

1. 1. Prepare Your Workspace and Tools: Clear a large area on a soft surface like a rug or cardboard to avoid scratching the monkeypod wood. You’ll need a Phillips-head screwdriver (or a power drill with a low torque setting), a rubber mallet, and a friend to help hold pieces. Lay out all parts and hardware from the box and check that nothing is missing. Common mistake: using a metal hammer directly on the wood can dent the polyurethane seal. Always use a rubber mallet or a cloth between the hammer and the frame.
2. 2. Attach the Iron Beams to the Side Rails: Identify the two long side rails and the three iron beams. Each beam has pre-drilled holes. Align one beam at the center of the side rails and another near the foot end. Use the provided bolts to fasten each beam to both side rails. Tighten bolts by hand first, then finish with the screwdriver—do not overtighten, as this can strip the threads. Checkpoint: ensure the beams are perpendicular to the rails before tightening fully. A crooked beam will prevent the plywood supports from sitting flat.
3. 3. Insert the Three Plywood Support Pieces: With the iron beams attached, slide the three plywood pieces into the slots on the side rails. They should fit snugly over the beams. Gently tap them into place with your rubber mallet if needed. The plywood creates the base for your mattress, so confirm each piece is fully seated and level. Common mistake: forcing a plywood piece that seems too tight. Check that no beam is twisted; a slight adjustment with the mallet usually fixes it.
4. 4. Secure the Elegant Base and Headboard: Position the headboard (the tall, bevelled piece) against the wall or where you want the bed. With your helper, lift the assembled side-rail-and-beam unit and align the side rail brackets with the headboard mounting points. Insert and tighten the bolts. The bed’s solid structure and elegant base should now be stable. Checkpoint: before fully tightening the headboard bolts, make sure the bed is level. Use a spirit level on the plywood supports. Adjust the headboard slightly if needed.
5. 5. Final Check and Mattress Placement: Once all bolts are tight, give the frame a gentle shake—there should be no wobble. If the bed moves, recheck the beam-to-rail connections. Place your mattress on the plywood base. The bed is now ready for use. Common mistake: skipping the stability test. A loose connection will cause squeaking later. Tighten any suspect bolts now.

• Nymm Double Bed: The Nymm Double Bed is crafted from monkeypod wood with a polyurethane seal. This durable wood and seal make the frame resistant to daily wear, but the finish can scratch if you drag parts across the floor during assembly.
