- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, soft surface (e.g., a rug or blanket) to prevent scratches. Verify all parts are present against the package contents list.
- Attach Headboard Legs: Secure the headboard legs to the main headboard panel using the provided bolts and tools. Ensure connections are firm but do not overtighten initially.
- Assemble Side Rails: Connect the side rails to the headboard and footboard (if applicable) using the designated hardware. Pay attention to the orientation of the rails.

Care and Maintenance

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bed frame is wobbly or unstable. | Loose bolts or uneven floor surface. | Ensure all bolts are securely tightened. Move the bed to a level surface or use shims under legs if necessary. |
| Squeaking noises from the bed frame. | Loose connections or friction between parts. | Retighten all hardware. Apply a small amount of wax or lubricant to contact points between wood and metal if squeaking persists. Ensure slats are properly seated. |
| Mattress slides on the slats. | Lack of friction between mattress and slats. | This model includes anti-slip tape for the slats. If not applied, consider using non-slip mattress pads or strips. |
