3. Usage and Operation
3.1. Mattress Placement
This platform bed frame is designed to support a mattress directly, eliminating the need for a box spring. You can use a mattress only, or a mattress with a box spring if preferred. The 11 sturdy metal slats provide even weight distribution and prolong mattress life.

3.3. Under-Bed Storage
The bed frame provides 12.5 inches of clearance from the floor. This space can be utilized for storage, helping to keep your room tidy and organized. It also allows for easy floor cleaning underneath the bed.

4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and safety of your bed frame.
- Cleaning: Wipe the metal frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish.
- Hardware Check: Periodically inspect all screws, bolts, and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten any loose hardware to maintain stability.
- Foot Pads: The metal legs are fitted with non-slip foot pads to protect your floor. Ensure these pads are intact and in place. Replace if damaged.
- Rust Prevention: The frame features a rustproof coating. To maintain this, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Giantex bed frame, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bed frame is wobbly or unstable. | Loose hardware; uneven assembly; damaged support leg. | Ensure all screws and bolts are fully tightened. Re-check assembly steps for correct alignment. Inspect support legs for damage; if one is shorter, consider adding a shim. |
| Squeaking noises. | Loose connections; metal-on-metal friction. | Tighten all hardware. Apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., silicone spray) to connection points if necessary. |
| Middle support legs dislodge when moving the bed. | Bed frame was dragged instead of lifted. | Always lift the bed frame when moving it to prevent dislodging the central support legs and damaging the floor. Re-position the legs if they have moved. |
| Screws strip during assembly. | Overtightening; misaligned parts. | Tighten screws gently, especially those connecting to plastic inserts. Ensure parts are correctly aligned before tightening. If a screw is stripped, contact customer support for replacement. |
| Bed frame does not support stated weight capacity. | Exceeded weight limit; improper assembly; damaged components. | Ensure the total weight on the bed (mattress + occupants) does not exceed 660 lbs. Verify all support legs and slats are correctly installed and undamaged. |
If the problem persists or is not listed here, please contact Giantex Customer Support.
