How to load it

It is too wide to stand straight up in here, so lean it against the side wall at about 34° and load it early, before other things take that floor.
Nothing should go on top of it; load boxes beside it, not on it.
Put it in a mattress bag first; standing it on its edge keeps it from being crushed.
