I about to start on assembling my bed again. Dont know if the from panel goes under the wood bed or not appears it does? Also what is the best way to assembly the bed? Like wood floor first the sides or what LOST need some advice.

Front panel goes under the wood and do the sides first but don't tighten the bolts all the way. Do all that at the end and check to make sure the bed is square before you do.

The front panel should be on before you start the wood. It is best to put all the wood in and then tighten everything up last. Just don't forget any. You might have to adjust something.

Ok sorry if I sound stupid just don't want to limit the rework. So I put the front panel on then the wood floor and then the sides?

I BELIEVE you should have the sides on also before laying the wood. Someone QA me please. And by the way - there are no dumb questions! Keep em coming, we are all learning from other folks' questions here, or at least I am!
