• Movement: Avoid dragging the bed frame when moving it. Lift it carefully to prevent damage to the frame or your flooring.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and appearance of your Zinus Evelyn Platform Bed Frame.

• Cleaning the Upholstery: For general cleaning, gently vacuum the upholstered headboard and frame to remove dust. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild fabric cleaner following the product instructions, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
• Frame Cleaning: Wipe down the metal and wooden components with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Dry thoroughly.
• Check Fasteners: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) check all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if any looseness is detected.
• Slat Inspection: Inspect the bamboo slats for any signs of damage or wear. Replace any broken slats to maintain proper mattress support.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Zinus Evelyn Platform Bed Frame, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Squeaking Noises:
  • Ensure all bolts are securely tightened. Loose connections are a common cause of squeaking.
  • Check if the slats are properly seated and not rubbing against the frame.
  • Verify that the mattress is not causing the noise by temporarily removing it and testing the frame.
• Instability/Wobbling:
  • Confirm that all support legs are making firm contact with the floor and are not bent or damaged.
  • Re-tighten all assembly hardware.
  • Ensure the bed frame is on a level surface.
• Slats Shifting:
  • If your frame uses hook-and-loop fasteners, ensure they are clean and properly engaged.
  • If slats are designed to be screwed in, ensure all screws are present and tight.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact Zinus customer support for further assistance.
