- Weight Capacity: The bed frame is engineered to support a maximum weight of 3500 lbs. Do not exceed this limit to ensure safety and product longevity.
- Under-bed Storage: The 18-inch height provides 15.5 inches of vertical clearance underneath, offering ample space for storage containers, luggage, or other items.

5. Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your bed frame.
- Cleaning: Wipe the metal frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish.
- Tightening Connections: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) check all bolts and screws. Re-tighten any loose connections to maintain stability and prevent squeaking.
- Slat Inspection: Inspect the wooden slats for any signs of damage, cracks, or excessive wear. Replace any damaged slats promptly to ensure proper mattress support.
6. Troubleshooting
Refer to this section for solutions to common issues.
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Squeaking noises | Loose bolts or slats not properly seated. | Check and tighten all bolts. Ensure wooden slats are correctly positioned and secured. |
| Frame feels unstable or wobbly | Incorrect assembly or uneven floor surface. | Review assembly steps to ensure all parts are correctly installed and tightened. Move the bed to a level surface. |
| Mattress slides on frame | Lack of friction between mattress and slats. | Some slats include anti-slip tape. If not, consider adding a non-slip mat between the mattress and slats. |
