Safety Precautions
- Always follow the assembly instructions carefully to prevent instability.
- Be cautious around the mute bar design to avoid potential pinch points during assembly and use.
- Ensure all screws and fasteners are tightened securely before use and periodically check for looseness.
- Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 900 lbs.
- Keep small parts out of reach of children during assembly.
Setup and Assembly Instructions
Assembly of the SHA CERLIN bed frame is designed to be straightforward. All necessary tools are included. It is recommended to have a second person assist with assembly for ease and safety.
Before You Begin:
- Unpack all components and verify against the parts list provided in your package.
- Organize all pieces by type (e.g., different bars, screws).
- Clear a spacious area for assembly to avoid obstruction.
- Consider wearing padded gloves to protect your hands during tightening.
General Assembly Tip:
When connecting two parts with screws, always screw both sides in halfway before tightening them completely. This ensures proper alignment and prevents crookedness or difficulty in fitting parts.
Step-by-Step Assembly:
- Assemble the Headboard:
Identify bars A, B, and C. Line up both A bars vertically. Attach one B bar at the very top, another B bar in the middle, and the C bar at the bottom in the middle of bar A. Ensure the top B bar's screw tabs face down and the lower B bar's tabs face up. Use the halfway tightening technique.

- Attach Headboard Upholstery (Part D):
Lay part D (the upholstered headboard section) with its black back facing up. Place the assembled metal headboard frame on top of D, aligning the holes. Insert screws, noting that some fabric might cover parts of the holes, requiring gentle pressure to penetrate.
- Build the Main Frame Sides (Parts F and G):
Identify parts F and G. F slides into G. It is crucial to ensure they are oriented correctly as shown in the instructions, with the holes for the slats facing inwards. For example, on the left side, F is at the top and G is on the bottom; on the right side, G is on the top and F is on the bottom. Secure them together using two P1 screws in the middle holes.
- Attach K Bars:
Secure the two K bars (one for the top, one for the bottom) to the F/G combination bars. Ensure the slat holes on the F/G bars are facing inwards. Use the halfway tightening technique for secure attachment.
- Secure H Bar (Middle Support):
Attach the H bar to the middle of your main frame. This step is performed from underneath the frame. Use four P2 screws (two on each side) to secure it. Remember to tighten halfway first.
- Attach I Legs to H Bar:
Identify the I legs (there are two types of leg bars; ensure you use I legs for the H bar). Hook both I legs onto the H bar. It can be helpful to balance the frame on a box to stabilize it. Use two P4 screws, two P6 circular washers, and a P5 nut/bolt for each leg. Place P6 on P4, insert through H bar and I leg, then screw on P5 with its tiny lip facing the bottom. Use the L-shaped screwdriver to hold the screw while tightening the nut with the wrench.
- Attach Headboard and Foot Bar (Part E):
Attach the assembled headboard and bar E (the foot bar) to the main frame. It is recommended to attach the headboard first. Use P3 screws (the fattest screws). Start by inserting the bottom screw halfway on one side, then the opposite side. Repeat for the top screws. Do not tighten fully until all P3 screws for both the headboard and foot bar are inserted halfway. Then, go around and tighten all screws completely.
- Install L Bars:
There are two L bars. Install them with the foam side facing up, as this is where the slats will rest. Each L bar has a hook on one end. Use two P1 screws to secure the L bar into the K bar. Do not insert the hook into the H bar hole until the L bar is fully screwed in.
- Secure Hooks with M Plate and Attach J Legs:
Secure the two hooks using the M plate. Place the M plate over the hooks and insert two P4 screws through all holes, then screw on two P5 nuts. Use the L-shaped screwdriver and wrench for this. Next, attach the J legs (the remaining leg type) under the L bars. Use two P2 screws for each J leg, securing them from underneath the bar.
- Insert N Bars (Slats) and O Parts:
This is the final step. Each N bar (slat) has a hook and a skinny part before the hook. Insert one end of the bar into the frame, then maneuver the other end into place. Ensure the N bar clicks all the way to the bottom of the hole. Once all slats are in place, snap the gray O parts into the top of the holes to secure the slats.

Once all steps are completed, ensure all connections are tight and the frame is stable before placing your mattress.
Operating Instructions
The SHA CERLIN Queen Metal Bed Frame is designed for straightforward use. Once assembled, it provides a stable and comfortable foundation for your mattress without the need for a box spring.
- Mattress Placement: Place your Queen size mattress (recommended 60" x 80") directly onto the steel slats. The embedded design of the frame helps to keep the mattress from sliding.
- Weight Distribution: Distribute weight evenly across the bed frame. Avoid concentrating heavy loads on a single point.
- Under-bed Storage: Utilize the 12.4 inches of clearance under the bed for storage. This space is ideal for storage bins or boxes to keep your room tidy.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and appearance of your bed frame.
- Cleaning the Frame: Wipe the metal frame with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Headboard: The linen fabric headboard is designed for easy care. Spot clean with a mild fabric cleaner if necessary, following the cleaner's instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Checking Fasteners: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten any loose fasteners to maintain stability and prevent squeaking.
- Noise Reduction: The EVA material on the slats is designed to reduce noise. If any squeaking occurs, check for loose connections or ensure the mattress is properly seated.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bed frame is wobbly or unstable. | Loose screws or incorrect assembly. | Check all connections and re-tighten all screws. Refer to the assembly instructions to ensure all parts are correctly installed. |
| Squeaking noises. | Loose connections, friction between metal parts, or slats not fully seated. | Ensure all screws are tight. Verify that the EVA material on the slats is intact. Check if slats are fully clicked into place. |
| Mattress slides on the frame. | Mattress not properly seated within the embedded frame, or mattress material is very slick. | Ensure the mattress is fully pushed into the embedded frame. If sliding persists, a non-slip mattress pad can be placed between the mattress and the slats. |
| Missing or damaged parts upon arrival. | Shipping damage or packaging error. | Contact SHA CERLIN customer support immediately with your purchase details and a description of the missing/damaged parts. |
