3. Setup Instructions
Assembly of the ZINUS Florence bed frame is designed to be straightforward. It is recommended to have two people for easier and faster assembly, though one person can manage.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Lay them out on a clean, soft surface (like a rug or blanket) to prevent scratches. Verify all components against the parts list.
- Attach Side Rails: Connect the side rails to the headboard and footboard using the provided bolts and tools. Ensure all connections are finger-tight before fully tightening.
- Install Center Support: Secure the center support bar(s) and any associated support legs to the frame.
- Place Slats: Position the steel slats across the frame. Many slats include adhesive strips to prevent mattress movement. Press down firmly to engage these strips.

4. Operating Guidelines
The ZINUS Florence Metal Platform Bed Frame is designed for optimal mattress support and convenience.
- Mattress Placement: Place your mattress directly onto the steel slats. The frame's design eliminates the need for a traditional box spring.
- Underbed Storage: The frame provides 10 inches of clearance from the floor, offering ample space for underbed storage containers or other items.

- Mattress Stability: The steel slats are equipped with adhesive strips to help prevent your mattress from shifting during use.
- Floor Protection: The bed frame includes floor base protectors on its legs to safeguard your flooring from scratches and damage.
5. Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your ZINUS Florence bed frame.
- Cleaning: Wipe the metal frame with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the painted finish.
- Regular Checks: Periodically inspect all bolts and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability and prevent squeaking.
- Moving the Bed: When moving the bed frame, lift it rather than dragging it to prevent damage to the frame or your flooring.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your bed frame, refer to the following common solutions:
- Squeaking or Wobbling:
This is typically caused by loose connections. Re-tighten all bolts on the headboard, footboard, side rails, and center support. Ensure the frame is on a level surface.
- Mattress Impressions/Damage:
While the steel slats are designed for direct mattress support, some users with specific mattress types (e.g., older flip mattresses or very soft foam) may notice impressions over time. If this occurs, consider placing a thin sheet of plywood or a bunkie board between the mattress and the slats for additional, continuous support.
- Missing Parts:
If any parts are missing upon unboxing, please contact ZINUS customer support immediately with your purchase details.
