Step 2: Assemble Side Rails and Cross Arms. The T-Shaped legs interlock on both the top and bottom side rails for maximum strength. Ensure a secure connection. Use pliers to tighten any locking mechanisms if applicable.

Step 4: Install Wide Glide Feet. The wide glide foot distributes weight over the entire frame for better weight distribution. The spin glide has a 6-inch leg with a steel shaft and plastic glide that slides easily on carpet. Ensure all glides are firmly attached to the bottom of each leg.

Step 5: Final Check. Once assembled, ensure all connections are tight and the frame is stable before placing your box spring and mattress.
Operating Instructions
The Glideaway Premium Heavy Duty Bed Frame is designed to provide robust support for your box spring and mattress set. It can accommodate various mattress types, including softside waterbeds, due to its high weight capacity.
Usage Guidelines:
- Place your box spring directly onto the assembled bed frame.
- Position your mattress on top of the box spring.
- If using a headboard or footboard, ensure they are securely bolted to the frame's mounting plates. This frame is specifically designed for bolt-on style headboards and footboards.
- The frame's design, including the 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" angle iron steel side rails and cross arms, provides superior strength for even the heaviest applications.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and continued performance of your Glideaway bed frame, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the metal frame with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
- Periodic Inspection: Periodically check all bolts and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary using a screwdriver and pliers.
- Glide Feet: Ensure the wide glide feet are free of obstructions and can move smoothly if the bed needs to be repositioned.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your bed frame, consider the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Frame feels wobbly or unstable. | Loose connections or uneven floor. | Check and tighten all bolts and interlocking points. Ensure the bed is on a level surface. Adjust glide feet if necessary to compensate for unevenness. |
| Difficulty attaching headboard/footboard. | Misalignment or incorrect bracket usage. | Ensure the headboard/footboard is compatible with bolt-on attachment. Align the holes carefully before inserting bolts. Do not force connections. |
| Squeaking noises. | Loose connections or friction between metal parts. | Tighten all connections. A small amount of silicone spray or wax on contact points can reduce friction, but ensure it does not compromise stability. |
