Prior to assembling your bed, be sure to gather all of the hardware that came with the frame to an easily accessible area. Review the hardware and bed frame components to determine what tools you will need i.e. a pair of pliers or Phillip's- (or flat-head) screwdriver or the tools that came with the hardware set. Experts agree that working with a partner will be safer and more time-efficient. Also, avoid unnecessary stress and use the directions.
PositioningDetermine the place in the room that you prefer to have your bed and then move the head and foot boards to that area. By doing this you will eliminate the inconvenience of having to move the bed once you have assembled it. Position the head board against the wall and the foot board away from it at the appropriate distance.
Assembling Your BedOnce you have positioned your head and foot boards hook in the side slats. Be sure to support the head and foot boards while hooking in the side slats. Angling the components in ways not intended by the manufacturer will put undue stress on the wood. Your head and foot boards should be stabilized. At this point, you will insert the interior slats. Again, make sure that each slat is supported while inserting so as not to put undue pressure on the frame. Firmly secure and tighten each interior slat with the tools needed for the job. Your frame is now mattress-set ready.

Typically..... 1. Attach cross-beams to bed frame ends (what will be the arm-rests when the bed is assembled and used as a couch). Cross-beams are the two long poles with two screw-holes at the end of each. Rotate the cross-beams so that the inside of the angle is facing down (so that the bed frame has a flat surface to rest on when opened). Typically the cross-beams will have small pads of material on the side where the bed frame should rest (top). Screw/bolt these in place. 2. There will be a spring assembly on each frame end to which you will attach the mattress frame directly. The mattress frame is typically in two parts, one side is squared, one side is rounded. Align the two mattress frame parts on the spring assemblies so that the squared ends meet in the middle, rounded parts facing out. Screw/bolt these in place. 3. Done.
