Setup and Assembly
Follow these steps to assemble your AFI Oxford Queen Platform Bed. It is recommended to have two people for assembly.
- Unpack and Identify Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Lay them out on a soft, clean surface and compare them against the package contents list to ensure everything is present.
- Attach Side Rails to Headboard: Align the side rails with the pre-drilled holes on the headboard. Secure them using the provided bolts, washers, and nuts. Do not fully tighten at this stage.
- Attach Side Rails to Footboard: Connect the other end of the side rails to the footboard in the same manner. Once all connections are made, gently tighten all bolts with the Allen wrench until secure.
- Install Center Support Legs: Attach the center support legs to the designated crossbeams or slats as indicated in the detailed diagram. These provide crucial support for the mattress.
- Position Slat Roll: Unroll the slat system across the bed frame. Ensure the slats are evenly spaced and secured to the side rails using the provided fasteners. This platform design eliminates the need for a box spring, providing direct support for your mattress and promoting airflow.
- Install USB Charging Station: Locate the pre-drilled holes on the side rail or headboard for the surface mount turbo charger. Secure the charger using the provided screws. Plug the 6-foot cord into a suitable power outlet.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps preserve the appearance and structural integrity of your bed.
- Cleaning: Wipe the bed frame with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the non-toxic stained finish.
- Fastener Check: Periodically inspect all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability.
- Avoid Excessive Moisture: Protect the wood from prolonged exposure to moisture, which can cause warping or damage.
- Sunlight Exposure: Direct and prolonged sunlight can cause wood finishes to fade over time. Position the bed to minimize direct sun exposure if possible.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your AFI Oxford Platform Bed, refer to the following common solutions:
- Squeaking Noises: Squeaking often indicates loose fasteners. Re-tighten all bolts and screws on the frame, headboard, and footboard. Ensure slats are properly seated.
- Unstable Frame: If the bed feels wobbly, check that all connections are securely tightened. Ensure the bed is placed on a level floor.
- USB Charger Not Working: Verify the power cord is fully plugged into both the charger and a working wall outlet. Test the outlet with another device. Ensure your device's USB cable is not damaged.
- Damaged Parts: If any part of the bed is damaged, discontinue use and contact customer support for replacement parts. Do not attempt to repair structural components yourself.
