How to assemble an Alondra co-sleeping crib in 10 minutes (without being a handyman)

Have you decided to assemble the co- sleeping crib yourself at home? At Alondra we give you the option of assembly by our specialist technicians, although we design our cribs so that their assembly is so easy that you can do it alone.

As an example we will use the 60x120 cm OMNI 5-in-1 co-sleeping crib , but the assembly is similar in other of our Alondra cribs, such as the 70x140 cm OMNI XL 6-in-1 co- sleeping and Montessori crib and the 4- in-1 co - sleeping crib . 1 Nexus of 60x120 cm .

Elements and tools to assemble the OMNI 5-in-1 60x120 cm baby crib

When you receive our wooden co-sleeping cribs , the content of the box includes all the elements that are part of the bed, as well as the fittings for its assembly. What do you think if we start by reviewing all the elements that you will receive to assemble your new co- sleeping crib ?

• Two rails , that is, the sides of the crib.
• Two headboards . These are the frontals of the crib to which the rails and the supports of the box spring are attached.
• A box spring , that is, the base of the crib where the mattress rests.
• Two bed base supports . These are the wooden slats that are bolted to the headboards and onto which the box spring is bolted. Therefore, they are in charge of supporting the mattress.
• Four 35mm screws.
• 16 50mm screws .
• Eight 25mm screws.
• Four wheel supports .
• Two wheels with locking system.
• Two wheels without locking system .
• An allen key.
  

To screw the components you simply have to get a manual star-tip screwdriver , since this is not included among the accessories.

Alondra's advice

Alondra's Design Department advises against using power tools to assemble cribs , as these tools can exert excessive force and damage the product.

Hand tightening first is recommended, or if you wish, you can use the power tool first, but do the final tightening by hand to personally measure the force exerted.

Remember that this is our example with the 60x120 cm OMNI crib ! Therefore, these are the components of this crib, so the elements will vary depending on the model you choose. However, as we have told you, the assembly of our co-sleeping cribs is very similar, so they are all just as easy and quick to assemble!
