Step 3.2: Attach Footboard to Side Rails

Similarly, attach the upholstered footboard to the other end of the side rails. Confirm all four corners are aligned and securely fastened.

4. Operating Instructions

The four storage drawers are designed for easy access and organization.

• To open a drawer, gently pull the upholstered front panel outwards. The casters will allow it to roll smoothly.
• To close a drawer, push the panel inwards until it is flush with the bed frame.
• Avoid placing excessively heavy items in the drawers to ensure smooth operation and prevent damage to the casters or drawer structure.

5. Maintenance

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

• Cleaning: The upholstered fabric should be dry cleaned only. For minor spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Hardware Check: Periodically inspect all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability.
• Drawer Care: Keep the area beneath the bed clear of obstructions to allow the drawers to roll freely. Clean any dust or debris from the casters as needed.

6. Troubleshooting

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

• Wobbly Frame: Check all connections. Ensure all bolts are securely tightened. If the issue persists, disassemble and reassemble, ensuring all parts are correctly aligned.
• Drawers Not Sliding Smoothly: Verify that the casters are clean and free of debris. Ensure the drawers are assembled correctly and are not overloaded. Check for any obstructions beneath the bed.
• Squeaking Noises: Tighten all bed frame hardware. If the noise continues, check the slat connections and ensure the mattress is properly seated.
