Step-by-Step Assembly
Follow these steps to assemble your HOMCOM 2-Tier Bed End Bench correctly and safely.
Step 1: Prepare Components and Hardware
- Identify parts A(Upholstered Seat Cushion), C(Brushed Side Wood Legs), and D(Middle Wood Leg)
- Place A (upholstered seat cushion) on your workspace
- Note the zipper detail on the underside of the cushion
- Lay out all hardware for easy access:
- Bolts ( E and F)
- Washers (G and H)
- Allen key(I)
- Verify all components are present before assembly
Step 2: Assemble the Main Frame Structure
- Position Part A (upholstered seat cushion) upside down. Attach only one side leg at this stage (as shown in the diagram). Do not attach the remaining side legs yet.
- Connect the middle wooden leg (D) at the center and the side wooden legs (C) at the corners.
- Align the connection points.
- Hand-tighten connections to hold the structure in place.
- Verify the frame sits evenly and all parts are properly aligned.
Step 3: Attach the Bottom Shelf Panel
- Position B (bottom shelf panel) onto the attached legs.
- Secure B using the following hardware combinations:
- Middle Leg Connections: Bolts E (M8×50) with washers G and H.
- Side leg connections: Bolts F (M8×60) with washers G and H.
- Always insert washers (G and H) before inserting bolts.
Note: Follow the exact placement pattern shown in the diagram
Step 4: Attach the remaining side legs
- Position the side legs (C) onto the sides of the frame, and place the middle leg (D) at the center of the remaining side.
- Align the mounting holes with the seat frame and the bottom shelf panel.
- Secure the top and bottom connections of the side legs using Bolts F with Washers G and H, and secure the Middle Legs using Bolt E with Washers G and H.
- Hand-tighten all bolts to hold the legs in place before tightening.
- Ensure the frame remains level and properly aligned, and tighten all bolts using the Allen key (I).
Step 5: Stability Check
- Apply equal pressure to each connection to maintain proper frame alignment.
- Confirm all washers (G and H) are correctly seated at each bolt location.
- Check that the bench sits level on the floor without wobbling.
- Recheck all fasteners to ensure there are no loose bolts or gaps.
Once confirmed, your HOMCOM 2-Tier Bed End Bench is ready for daily use.
Troubleshooting During Assembly

FAQs
1. Can I assemble the bench without the bottom shelf installed?
No. The bottom shelf should be installed during assembly as shown. It helps keep the frame aligned and adds important structural stability to the bench.
2. What is the safest way to move the bench after it’s assembled?
Lift the bench evenly from both sides when moving it. Avoid dragging, as this can loosen bolts or put stress on the frame joints.
3. Can I tighten the bolts with a power tool instead of the Allen key?
Hand tightening with the included Allen key is recommended. Power tools may overtighten bolts, which can damage threads and weaken connections.
4. What’s the best way to prevent scratches on hard floors?
Attach felt pads or furniture glides to the bottom of each leg. This protects flooring and makes repositioning the bench easier.
