  • Do you not even have any copies of messages? 

    What is the full story?
  • @jinkles80, was the seller a company or a private seller ?

    If it was a company you should have had a sales contract, if it was a private sale of a second hand bed it's probably a case of tough luck.

    Well at least you have the bed! That's a good starting point, as it was delivered!

    How did you pay? Is there no one that could help you assemble it?
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    We do need more information, and what exactly is your question? 

    ‘Bought off Facebook’ could mean 2nd hand private seller, dodgy business seller, legit business seller gone bust- no one can answer without information. Or if you just want a manual, tell us exactly what the bed is and I’m sure someone on here will track down an online manual.

    Unless it is covered securely though I’d get it out of the open and safely stored somewhere dry, if it is like the bed we have here in the guest room it has an electrical movement and some metal parts all of which must remain dry. If it has already got damp please under no circumstances plug it in before paying someone to check the electrics.

  • Google the bed installation instructions on line and go from there, they are generally not difficult to put together.
