Any tips for getting this together? I'm struggling to get the parts of the frame to insert far enough to make the height what I need.

It is only going to go down but so far. But with as high as it is it works good for him. We put another small blanket at the end of the bed covering the bottom where it hangs down so it won't be drafty.

No tips; I was unable to fit the parts of the frame, even with tools. This one is useless; I will purchase another and toss this away. I am disabled and sending it back was too difficult.

I bought it for a friend, but it doesn't adjust (that I could figure out). My friend threw it away...she uses a tubular shaped headrest at the foot of the bed to keep her feet straight up and the blanket off of them.

I found that the parts had to be inserted enough distance to stay together, but it was difficult for the tubes to fit into each other. I think I sprayed the tubes with something to allow them to slide together. I haven't taken it apart since then!

I had a very difficult time getting it to fit as well. I don't know what the trick is. Sorry.

I found that putting olive oil on the tubes helped considerably. I also enlisted the aid of a friend so that equal pressure could be applied to push both sides equally while pressing in the keepers.

Had (have) the same problem with this item. Took my wife and I working together to assemble it. Don't need it now but am procrastinating about dissembling it for storage.

We had no instructions either. I contacted the seller, and they emailed them to me while we were on the phone. It went together fairly easy, and fast. All is great with ours. Hope you were able to get what you need.

Are you sure you have the right pieces in the right order? I did not experience any difficulty stabiling my stand. perhaps you could try putting the base together first, making sure it's secure,then adding top/higher pieces? Am sorry, this prob isn't much help, but mine was fine.....

Make sure you have installed each leg footing properly, plus the midbrace that comes with it. My table is tight, balanced and perfectly functional. Good luck!

The instructions that came with mine were not the best. It has been a while since I put mine together, but I remember I had to take areas apart to get the shelves in, so don't tighten any screws all the way. If I can remember correctly, I put on side together then the other side. Then I put the shelves in. The main top and wheels went on last. It is a good sturdy piece of furniture for the price, once it is put together. I am sorry I cant be of more assistance but I wish you luck.

this is a stand for my husband and we put it together as we pushed it up the tree....... assembled the top part and he held it up against the tree and pushed it up, while I added the second piece, then pushed it once again, and I added the last piece, then he adjusted the position from the ground to get the seat level. I hope this will help....... we were in a tight place to try and push the whole assembled stand up and it really was too top heavy to do alone.

Hi! I wanted to do exactly the same thing but the current design does not allow for it because the wheels are on the inside of the frame, so I drilled new holes on the other sides and put the wheels on the outside. Works great now! Hope that makes sense.

Try contacting Amazon. Their customer service is usually really good. You could also contact the company or see if they have a website with downloadable instructions. You definitely need the instructions because even with them it is difficult to assemble. But it's well worth the time and effort; it's a beautiful and sturdy piece of furniture!

I ran into the same issue. After I got the rest of it tightened, I laid the whole thing down horizontally, undid the screws that were holding those two L & R legs, made sure the leg pieces were then flush, and put the screws back in. This time, with the whole thing horizontal, it was much easier to screw the screws/bolts together. And I had to get it SUPER tight before it wasn't wobbly. But it did eventually work great. Hope this helps!

I wish I would have seen these comments before trying to assemble ours! NO manual and we had a heck of a time getting them put together. Same issue with the holes not lining up, I'm wondering if it would have been easier if we didn't tighten the screws all the way until they were all in....I don't know? We nearly stripped our screws but muscled through it and got them assembled. Really cool chair; just a pain to assemble.

I remember having the same problem. Try something different for the spacer or cut the spacer in half. Once you get it to snap together, it will be fine. It has been assembled and in heavy use by my 5 year old since I bought it.

Ok John, lol I'm so glad you posted this because it made me take the time to go and give it another try. Someone else actually put this together so I never had a chance to see the instructions. So here's what you need to do. Snap the top part of the canopy on behind those 2 raised bolts that are sticking up. Then glide the canopy right over the two bolts...the bolts sticking up are what secure the canopy to the carriage. Problem solved. Hope this helps!!

Try googling the instructions. Very simple to put together. You tube probably has a video.

I would contact the manufacturer to see if they have online instructions you can download. If not I would return it. Hard enough to put together WITH the instructions.

I had to get a long 2X4, had to replace the top polls. I cut a few pieces in different lengths and then I drilled holes and put screws with bolts. Be sure to get the right size screws so that it doesn't punch threw to long. Some places I was able to just use long nails. I hope I was able to help. I pretty much had to put new polls in for extra support. Although I did have to elimanite one shelf. I wish there was a way that I can send you a picture of mine. If you were to replace the polls you can get rope and wrap it around the 2X4.

The two frame pieces should meet in the middle of the coupler. You have to use a rubber mallet or a regular hammer with a piece of 2x4 to protect the metal to get it together. It is a tight fit

It's been a while since I put the unit together and I'll tell you if I hadn't had the hard headedness to complete the project I would have sent it back. All I can tell you is to follow the directions with the help of a friend with a lot of patience. The springs are so tight it's all but impossible to do alone. just persevere and you'll get it.
