My BALESTRAND mid-beam is too short

Slightly push the footboard in the middle when attaching the mid-beam.

When assembling your new BALESTRAND Divan bedframe, it can be a bit tricky to attach the mid-beam. The reason why it is a bit more difficult to do this is because the mid-beam will help the bed keep it's shape, as well as support the mattress (and you!).

To ease this, push slightly on the footboard in the middle when attaching the mid-beam. This will allow the mid-beam to slide into its clip more easily.
