Parts Consist of: 1 Headboard 1 Footboard 1 bottom 2 side rails round sides are the top 8 #8x11/4" wood screws 8 hardwood buttons
To assemble:
Step 1 Place headboard on a soft surface with the 2 holes for bottom facing up. The bottom has dowels already attached. Insert one end of the bottom into the holes, making sure that the arrow is facing up.
Step 2 Place footboard on the opposite side. Again inserting the dowels.
Step 3 Place side rail between head and foot boards, matching the numbers and pre-drilled holes. Put in the top screw first, then push bottom of rail tightly into the and insert second screw. Repeat for other side. Flip and repeat these 2 steps for the headboard. Hint: if you start the screw thru the predrilled holes in the footboard until slightly visible, it is easier to line up with the rail.
Step 4 The doll cradle is now assembled. After checking that all screws are tight, you may add the wooden buttons. If you do not intend to unassemble the cradle, it is advisable to use a small amount of wood glue. A small piece of wood is included to use. Place wood button on a small drop of wood glue in screw hole, cover with piece of wood and gently tap it in with hammer. If the cradle is for a small child (or around a small child) do not use the wooden buttons without glue.
