Setup and Assembly
This bed frame is designed for easy and quick assembly. All necessary hardware and tools, including a convenient ratchet tool, are provided in the package. It can typically be assembled by one person in under an hour.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Verify that all components listed in the assembly instructions are present and undamaged.
- Assemble Frame: Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in your manual to connect the main frame pieces. Use the included ratchet tool to securely tighten all bolts. Ensure all connections are firm to prevent wobbling.
- Install Slats: Place the wooden slats across the assembled frame. The slats are designed to provide direct mattress support, eliminating the need for a box spring.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Mellow Naturalista Classic Platform Bed, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the wood surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish.
- Regular Checks: Periodically check all bolts and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability and prevent squeaking.
- Weight Capacity: Do not load more than 500 pounds onto the bed frame. Exceeding this limit can compromise the structural integrity.
- Safety: Be careful around sharp edges during handling and assembly.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bed frame wobbles or feels unstable. | Loose bolts or improper assembly. | Ensure all bolts are fully tightened according to the assembly instructions. Re-check all connections. |
| Squeaking noises from the bed frame. | Loose connections or friction between components. | Tighten all bolts. Ensure the non-slip tape on the slats is properly applied. The velvet lining on the center bar is designed to prevent noise; ensure it is intact. |
| Mattress slides on the slats. | Non-slip tape not properly activated or worn out. | Ensure the top vinyl strip of the non-slip tape has been peeled off. If the tape is worn, consider applying new non-slip material to the slats. |
