Must be Assembled Within 30 Days

We require that the bed be assembled within 30 days of delivery. If left unassembled for a longer period of time, under some climate conditions unfinished wood may shrink or warp and some of the pieces may not fit properly. For example, our beds are manufactured in the Northeastern US, a cool and humid usage. If it is shipped to the Southwestern US, a hot and dry usage it may quickly dry out. If it is not assembled, this rapid drying could warp the wood. The warranty is void if the loft is not assembled within 30 days of arrival.
