4. Assembly Instructions
Assembly is required for this bed frame. It is recommended to have two people for assembly. Please follow these steps carefully:
- Unpack and Identify Parts: Lay out all components on a clean, soft surface (like a carpet) to prevent scratches. Refer to the parts list in your included installation manual to identify each piece.
- Attach Side Rails to Headboard and Footboard: Connect the side rails to the headboard and footboard using the provided bolts and nuts. Ensure all connections are secure but do not fully tighten yet.
- Install Central Support: Attach the central support beam(s) and any associated support legs to the bed frame. These are crucial for mattress stability.
- Place Bed Slats: Position the bed slats across the frame. Depending on the design, they may click into place or require screws. Ensure they are evenly spaced and secured.
- Final Tightening: Once all parts are assembled, go back and securely tighten all bolts and screws. Do not overtighten.
- Position the Bed: Carefully move the assembled bed frame to its desired location.

5. Usage
This bed frame is designed to support a mattress directly on its slats. No box spring is required. Simply place your compatible mattress (120 x 200 cm) onto the assembled bed frame. Ensure the mattress is centered and fully supported by the slats.
6. Maintenance
To keep your bed frame in optimal condition:
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the powder-coated finish.
- Regular Checks: Periodically inspect all connections (bolts, screws) to ensure they remain tight. Tighten any loose fasteners to maintain stability.
- Avoid Excessive Moisture: Keep the bed frame in a dry environment to prevent rust or damage to the metal.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your bed frame, consider the following:
- Squeaking Noises: Check all bolts and screws for tightness. Loose connections are a common cause of squeaking. Ensure the bed frame is level on the floor.
- Instability/Wobbling: Re-check all assembly steps to ensure every component is correctly installed and all fasteners are fully tightened. Ensure the bed is on a flat, even surface.
- Damaged Parts: If any part is bent or broken, discontinue use and contact customer support for replacement parts.
