Epoch Design Gabriel Twin Size Study Loft Bed Quick Start Manual

Congratulations on the purchase of your Epoch Design Hardwood Gabriel Twin Size Study Loft Bed. This bed
has been crafted to the highest standards of quality and safety and will give you many years of enjoyment and
practical use. Your solid hardwood loft bed can be used for sleeping and also as a highly space efficient work
area under the bed.
Since this bed is a natural wood product there will be variations in color and grain, and minor wood grain
checking may occur. This is normal and does not compromise the integrity of your bed. Variation in the
character of solid hardwood is integral to the beauty and appeal of hardwood furniture, and distinguishes it
from prefabricated, synthetic and composite materials.
Several basic safety considerations must be adhered to when using this loft bed.
TO HELP PREVENT serious or fatal injury from entrapment or falls:
• Never allow a child under 6 years on upper bunk.
• Always use the recommended size mattress or mattress support (standard twin 38" x 74"), or both, to help
prevent the likelihood of entrapment or falls.
• Ensure thickness of mattress does not exceed 9 inches.
• Mattress must be at least 5 inches(127mm) below upper edge of guardrails.
• Always use guardrails on both sides of upper bunk.
• Do not allow horseplay on or under bed(s) and prohibit jumping on the bed.
• Prohibit more than one person on upper bunk.
• Always use the ladder for entering and leaving upper bunk.
• If the bunk will be placed next to a wall, the guardrail that runs the full length of the bed should be placed
against the wall to prevent entrapment between the bed and the wall.
• Follow the information on the warnings appearing on the upper bunk bed end structure and on the carton.
Do not remove warning label from the bed.
• Periodically check and ensure that the guardrail, ladder and other components are in their proper position,
free from damage and that all connectors are tight.
• Do not use substitute parts. Contact Mfg. or dealer for replacement parts.
• The use of water or sleep flotation mattress is prohibited.
• Keep these instructions for future reference.
• Use of a night light may provide added safety precaution for a child using the upper bunk.
• STRANGULATION HAZARD - Never attach or hang items to any parts of the bunk bed that are not designed
for use with the bed: for example, but not limited to, hooks, belts, and jump ropes.
On this insert you will find a list of the hardware and loft bed parts necessary for assembly, as well as detailed
instructions. Assembly is quite simple and requires only a flat head screwdriver and a phillips head screwdriver.
The use of a power drill with phillips head attachment is helpful but not necessary. Assembly will be most
easily accomplished if you take the time to carefully sort the hardware and familiarize yourself with the
function of each piece.
If you should require assistance with assembly, part replacement or any other matter, contact the toll-free
Epoch Design Service Center from anywhere in the Continental United States, Monday through Friday, 9AM -
