- Weight Capacity: The bed frame has a maximum weight capacity of 800 pounds. Do not exceed this limit to ensure structural integrity and safety.
- Under-Bed Storage: Utilize the 12.4 inches of clearance beneath the bed for convenient storage of items. Ensure stored items do not obstruct airflow or put undue pressure on the frame.
- Noise-Free Design: The integrated EVA material non-slip strips and anti-slip foot pads are designed to prevent noise and movement, ensuring a quiet sleep environment.
