• fasteners to the wall should be as reliable as possible, therefore the drill bit must be at least 10 mm in diameter;
• since the construction is very heavy, plastic and wooden dowels are strictly forbidden to use. It is necessary to prepare in advance anchor fastenings in length not less than 80 mm;
• in some houses due to various reasons, floor and walls can be led. In this case, to install a cabinet-bed is strictly prohibited, since the design will loosen, breaking the fasteners. It is very important to remember this, because in case of a structural breakdown, the child can get serious injuries.
