4. Assembly Instructions

Please read all instructions carefully before assembly. Two people are recommended for assembly. A screwdriver (not included) is required.

1. 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 scratching.
2. Attach Legs to Frame: Secure the support legs to the upholstered side rails and footboard using the provided hardware. Ensure they are tightened firmly.
3. Connect Frame Sections: Attach the side rails to the footboard using the designated bolts and an Allen wrench. Do not fully tighten all bolts until the entire frame is assembled.

5. Operating Instructions

The Tannally Platform Bed Frame is designed for straightforward use.

• Mattress Placement: Carefully place your full-size mattress directly onto the wooden slats. No box spring or additional foundation is required.
• Weight Distribution: Ensure weight is distributed evenly across the bed frame to prevent stress on individual slats or frame components.
• Under Bed Clearance: The bed frame offers approximately 5 inches of under-bed clearance for storage, if desired.

6. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your bed frame.

• Cleaning Upholstery: For general cleaning, vacuum the upholstered fabric regularly using a soft brush attachment. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For stubborn stains, consult a professional upholstery cleaner or use a mild fabric cleaner suitable for polyester, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
• Cleaning Wood Components: Wipe wooden legs with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Hardware Check: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) check all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fabric fading.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your bed frame, refer to the following common solutions:

• Squeaking Noises: Squeaking often indicates loose connections. Re-tighten all bolts and screws on the frame and legs. Ensure slats are properly seated and secured.
• Instability/Wobbling: Verify that all legs are firmly attached and making full contact with the floor. Ensure all frame connections are securely tightened. Confirm the bed is on a level surface.
• Difficulty Aligning Screws During Assembly: If screws do not align easily, slightly loosen adjacent connections to allow for minor adjustments. Do not force screws; ensure parts are correctly oriented before tightening.
• Slats Shifting: Ensure all slats are properly installed and, if applicable, screwed into the side rails. If slats are not secured, they may shift.
