Quick Answer
Assemble the Mokee Bedside Crib Beech 90x40 by following the included manual, using the correct hardware order, and checking stability before placing your baby inside.
Why Assembly Order Matters
The Mokee Bedside Crib Beech 90x40 is made from solid beechwood, which is sturdy but also heavy. If you attach the side rails before securing the base, the frame can twist and make it hard to align the screws. Following the correct order keeps the joints square and the crib stable.
Because the wood is untreated and free of chemical finishes, avoid forcing parts together. If a piece doesn't fit, check the orientation rather than applying extra pressure—this prevents splitting the wood.
Step-by-Step Assembly
- Prepare the workspace: Clear a flat, open area and lay out all parts and hardware. Check that you have every screw and bolt listed in the manual before starting. Missing a part before you begin is easier to fix than discovering it halfway through.
- Attach the base support rails: Secure the two long support rails to the end panels using the provided screws. Do not fully tighten them yet—leave a little play so the frame can square up. Tightening too early can cause the frame to sit unevenly.
- Fit the mattress base: Place the mattress base into the lower position or the higher position, depending on your baby's age. The manual shows which height is correct for 0-8 months. Double-check the base is resting on the support rails, not just wedged in.
- Install the side rails: Attach the side rails to the end panels, aligning the screw holes. Use a screwdriver, not a power drill, to avoid over-tightening and stripping the wood. If a screw won't go in, realign the rail—don't force it.
- Tighten all fasteners: Once the frame is square and all parts are aligned, tighten every screw and bolt firmly. Check for any wobble by gently shaking the crib. Any movement means a fastener is loose—tighten it before use.
- Test the bedside attachment (if applicable): If you're using the crib as a bedside sleeper, secure the attachment straps to your bed frame and test that the crib stays firmly in place when you push against it. A secure attachment is crucial for safe co-sleeping.
- Final safety check: Inspect all corners and edges for sharp gaps or protruding screws. Ensure the mattress fits snugly with no gaps around the sides. A snug mattress reduces the risk of your baby getting trapped.
