3. Setup & Assembly
Assembly is designed to be straightforward and can typically be completed by one person. Follow these steps carefully:
Step 1: Unfold the Main Frame
Carefully unfold the two main frame sections on your chosen assembly area. Ensure the legs are extended outwards.
Step 2: Connect Frame Sections
Align the two unfolded frame sections and secure them together using the provided bolts and Allen wrench. Ensure a tight connection for stability.
Step 3: Install Center Support Legs
Attach the additional center support legs to the designated points on the frame. These provide crucial support and durability.
Step 4: Insert Steel Slats
Place the steel slats into the designated slots on the frame. Some slats may have pre-applied non-slip tape. Ensure all slats are evenly spaced and securely seated.

Step 5: Apply Non-Slip Tape (Optional)
If your mattress tends to slide, apply the included non-slip double-sided adhesive tape to the top of the steel slats where the mattress will rest. This helps keep the mattress securely in place.
Step 6: Place Mattress
Carefully place your mattress onto the assembled bed frame. No box spring is required.

5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and performance of your Amazon Basics bed frame, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the metal frame with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the powder-coated finish.
- Regular Checks: Periodically inspect all bolts and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability and prevent squeaking.
- Non-Slip Tape: If the non-slip tape wears out or loses its effectiveness, replace it with new double-sided adhesive tape to keep your mattress secure.
- Protective Feet: Ensure the plastic protective feet are intact and in place to prevent scratching your floors. Replace if damaged.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bed frame is wobbly or unstable. | Loose bolts or incorrect assembly. | Check all bolts and connections and tighten them securely. Review assembly instructions to ensure all parts are correctly installed. |
| Squeaking noises from the frame. | Loose connections or friction between metal parts. | Tighten all bolts. Ensure noise-dampening covers are properly seated on slats. Apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., silicone spray) to contact points if necessary. |
| Mattress slides on the frame. | Insufficient non-slip surface. | Ensure the provided non-slip tape is applied to the slats. If needed, apply additional non-slip tape or a non-slip mattress pad. |
