Verify you have all the parts necessary to assemble your Bassett crib. Compare the list of parts on your instruction manual with the pieces that came with your order. If you are missing a piece or if a piece is broken, contact the manufacturer for a replacement.
Move all the pieces into the room where the crib will be located. Some Bassett cribs are too large to fit through a standard doorway once assembled.
Attach the crib's stabilizer rails to the headboard and foot-board using screws. A pair of stabilizer rails (one of each side of the crib) and all necessary screws should be included with your purchase. Secure the rails with a washer and bolt. Tighten with an Allen wrench.
Insert the spring frame into place. This should fit snugly in the rectangular space created by the headboard, foot-board and two support rails. Secure the spring frame to the inside of the support rails using screws and bolts supplied with your purchase.
Attach the side rails to the crib, again using screws and bolts included with your purchase. Adding these pieces will complete the basic construction of the crib.
Move the crib to its desired location in the room. Some cribs are specifically designed for one side to butt up against a wall; others are more versatile and allow any side of the crib to be placed against a wall.
Insert a crib mattress into the crib. This mattress will rest on the spring frame. The mattress typically is not included with the purchase of the crib.
