Assembly Instructions

Follow these steps carefully to assemble your HomeLife Model 00008 King Size Platform Bed. It is recommended to have two people for assembly.

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Lay them out on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches. Identify all parts against the package contents list.
2. Attach Legs to Headboard and Footboard: Securely attach the decorative legs to the headboard and footboard using the provided hardware. Ensure they are tightened firmly.
3. Connect Side Rails: Attach the upholstered side rails to the headboard and footboard. Align the pre-drilled holes and insert the bolts. Hand-tighten all bolts initially.
4. Install Center Support Beam: Place the center support beam along the length of the bed frame. Attach it to the headboard and footboard brackets using the designated hardware.
5. Position Slat Supports: Attach any additional support legs to the center beam or slats as indicated in the specific diagram included with your product.
6. Lay Slats: Evenly space and lay the wooden slats across the side rails and center support beam. Many slats may have pre-drilled holes for screws or Velcro strips to secure them in place. Ensure all slats are properly seated.

Operating (Usage)

The HomeLife Model 00008 is designed as a platform bed, meaning it does not require a box spring. Simply place your King size mattress directly onto the wooden slats.

• Ensure the mattress is centered and fully supported by the slats.
• Avoid placing excessive weight on specific areas of the bed frame or slats.

Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your HomeLife platform bed.

• Fabric Care: For general cleaning of the light grey linen fabric, use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner with an upholstery attachment to remove dust and debris.
• Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild fabric cleaner specifically designed for upholstery, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Do not saturate the fabric.
• Frame Maintenance: Periodically check all bolts and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as needed to maintain stability.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause fabric fading.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your HomeLife Model 00008 bed, refer to the following common solutions:

• Squeaking Noises: Squeaking often indicates loose connections. Re-tighten all bolts on the frame, headboard, and footboard. Ensure slats are properly seated and not rubbing against the frame.
• Instability/Wobbling: Check that all legs are firmly attached and making even contact with the floor. Verify all frame connections are securely tightened.
• Slats Shifting: Ensure the mattress is evenly distributed over the slats. If slats are not secured, consider adding non-slip pads or small screws (if pre-drilled holes are present) to prevent movement.
• Missing Parts: If you discover missing parts during assembly, do not attempt to force assembly. Contact customer support for replacement parts.
