Weight Capacity

The bed frame has a maximum weight capacity of 1000 pounds, including the mattress and occupants. Do not exceed this limit to ensure structural integrity and safety.

Underbed Storage

The elevated design provides approximately 11 inches of clearance beneath the frame, offering ample space for storage boxes or other items, helping to keep your bedroom organized.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the metal frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the powder-coated finish.
• Fastener Checks: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) inspect all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability and prevent squeaking.
• Avoid Excessive Moisture: While the frame has a durable finish, prolonged exposure to moisture should be avoided to prevent rust.

7. Troubleshooting

Squeaking Noises

• Solution: Squeaking often indicates loose connections. Re-tighten all bolts and screws on the frame. Ensure the mattress is properly seated on the slats.

Instability or Wobbling

• Solution: Check that all frame components are correctly assembled and fully engaged. Verify that all support legs are making firm contact with the floor and that all fasteners are tight. Ensure the bed is on a level surface.

Damaged or Missing Parts

• Solution: If you discover damaged or missing parts upon unboxing, do not proceed with assembly. Contact AMBEE21 customer support immediately for assistance.
