Important Note:

For customers ordering from outside of the EU, please be aware that you may be subject to import duty and tax. It is advisable to check with your local postal or tax office regarding import regulations before purchase.

Safety Information

To ensure safe use of your VEVELSTAD bed frame, please adhere to the following safety guideline:

• Maximum Weight Recommendation: Do not load more than 130 kilograms (approximately 286 pounds) onto the bed frame. Exceeding this limit may compromise the structural integrity and safety of the frame.

Setup and Assembly

The VEVELSTAD bed frame is designed for straightforward assembly. While specific step-by-step instructions are typically provided in the product packaging, the general process involves:

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the compact packaging. Verify that all parts listed in the included assembly guide are present.
2. Frame Assembly: Connect the main frame components (side rails, headboard, footboard) using the provided hardware. Ensure all connections are secure and tightened appropriately.
3. Leg Attachment: Attach the support legs to the designated points on the frame. Confirm they are stable and evenly support the frame.
4. Slat Installation: Lay the bed slats across the frame, ensuring they are properly seated and secured according to the assembly instructions. These slats provide support for your mattress.
5. Final Check: Before placing a mattress, gently shake the assembled frame to ensure stability. Retighten any loose connections if necessary.

Maintenance

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

• Cleaning: Wipe the bed frame with a dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the metal finish.
• Regular Checks: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if any looseness is detected to maintain stability and prevent squeaking.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter with your bed frame:

• Squeaking Noises: If the bed frame squeaks, check all bolts and screws. Tighten any that are loose. Ensure the slats are properly seated and not rubbing against the frame. Applying a small amount of lubricant (e.g., silicone spray) to connection points can also help.
• Instability/Wobbling: Verify that the bed frame is assembled on a flat, level surface. Check all leg attachments and frame connections for tightness. Ensure all components are correctly aligned as per the assembly instructions.
• Slats Shifting: If slats are moving or falling out, ensure they are correctly installed in their designated slots or supports. Some slats may have anti-slip features or require specific placement.
