Warren Evans Minster Assembly Manual

  • Hello! I've reviewed the assembly guide for the Warren Evans bed models, including Harrow, Hornsey, Ludlow, Minster, Richmond, Ripley, Stockport, and Woking, and I'm here to assist you. This document provides step-by-step instructions for assembling the bed frame, both standard and ottoman versions. I can answer questions regarding the assembly process, including attaching the head and foot ends, securing the side rails, installing slats, and using lifting mechanisms for ottoman variants. Feel free to ask me anything!
  • What should I do before starting the assembly?
    Where do the bolts go?
    What should I do with the ottoman lifting mechanism?

When unwrapping these beds please keep all the wrapping intact should it be needed for
returns. Make a space in your bedroom for where the bed will actually be positioned.
Start the assembly process by leaning the head end against the wall of choice.
Open the 3 largest boxes, one of which contains both the foot end and the head end of the
bed (this box also contains screws, bolts and allen key inside).
Place the head end on its feet leaning against your wall of choice. Place the foot end on its
feet to one side. (Do not slide the headboard onto the head end until instructed to do so).
There are 12 bolts, 3 that go in each of the legs. Put each bolt in but only one full turn so
that it’s loosely connected.

Please spend time reading these instructions and reading our assembly instructions online before
constructing or moving your bed.
Please make sure that all the surfaces that you lean any of our products on are clean and soft so
as not to mark or damage the bed.
Please ensure that you wash your hands or that your gloves are very clean even after and during
unwrapping the products, to not mark the finished product in any way. We wish you to have an
excellent clean Warren Evans bed!
PLEASE READ THE USER GUIDE BEFORE FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS

is not ridiculously out of kilt.
Now tighten the 12 bolts firmly (but not super tight) with the allen key provided.

If you do not, continue to step 6
If you have an ottoman bed with metal hinges, go to assembly step 10
If your bed is a super king size or a small super king size (6ft or 5ft 6inch wide) you will need
to insert the centre beam.

Open the plastic wrapped set of slats and space them on the bed frame as shown.
Screw down both ends of the slat at the
head end first.
Do the same with the foot end slat.
Do the same with the “middle slat” (see
arrows). But make sure that the tip of
this slat is pushed up against the inner
side of the bed as much as possible
while putting in the slat screws at both
ends of this slat.
Screw down the rest of the slats.
7.
Slot the headboard over the posts (usually takes two people) but please keep it horizontal as
it is lowered into place.
8.
DISASSEMBLING: FOR BEDS WITHOUT OTTOMANS
To disassemble, reverse the order of the assembly instructions, but first number the slats
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc...) as shown so that they screw back into the same places when
reassembling.
9.
Make sure hands and surfaces are clean
and all of the parts of the bed do not get
damaged against rough or hard surfaces.
Thank you.
Unwrap the lightest long package carefully. There are 3 cross beams (A), a slat with ply
support (B) and a slat with a handle in (C) will be used later).
10.
The central cross beam has screw
holes in it. Please screw the centre
beam into the sides tightly as
shown using the 4 unique screws
supplied. Make sure that there is
no gap between the central cross
beam and the sides of the bed.

If your bed is a super king size or a small super king size (6ft or 5ft 6inch wide) you will
need to insert the centre beam.
12.
Take the 2 slats (head end and foot end) that are available and place them onto the bed as
shown.
The edge of the head end slat (the ply mattress buffer faces upwards and is at the head
end of the bed as shown) should sit at the edge of the lifting mechanism wooden rail.
The foot end slat with the handle should have the label facing upwards that reads ‘Please
use with a mattress’ and should also sit at the edge of the lifting mechanism wooden rail.
The tips of both ends of every slat should equal distance from the sides.
13.
Head End
Hoop-lock screws
Foot End
The hoop-lock screws should remain firmly screwed down in place.
Please space the foot end slat appropriately and screw down all 4 screws, and now do the
same with the head end slat. Please continue the same process with all of the other slats,
which are in the last package to be opened. Please spread these slats out so that they are
equally spaced in between the first and last slat.
The tips of both ends of every slat should equal distance from the sides. The hoop-lock
screws should remain firmly screwed down in place.
14.
With 2 people please lift the headboard up (with clean hands!) and keeping it level, slide
it down fully onto the headboard posts.

IMPORTANT:
LAST STEP OF YOUR BED ASEEMBLY
The 2 hoop-lock screws at the foot end of
each side of the bed must be completely
unscrewed and then screwed back in 4
turns to keep it conveniently located for use
whenever your bed is to be moved. Failure to
remove far enough before use could scratch
the stationary side rail and damage it.
AND THE FIRST STEP IF EVER MOVING /
DISASEMBLING YOUR BED.
Failure to use it when moving the bed
creates an injury risk as this screw keeps
the ottoman sides from flipping up
unexpectedly.
DISASSEMBLING BED
The hoop-lock screws shown must be
completely screwed in. So that the ottoman
can no longer be raised until a mattress is
about to be placed on it again for normal use.
To disassemble reverse the order of the
assembly instructions, but first number the
slats as shown (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc...) so that
they screw back into the same places when
reassembling.
Make sure hands, surfaces are clean and all
of the parts of the bed do not get damaged
against rough or hard surfaces. Thank you.
