Assembly Instructions
Before You Begin
- Clear a spacious area for assembly.
- Lay out all components and hardware on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
- Identify each part by referring to the Package Contents list.
- It is recommended to have two people for assembly.
Step-by-Step Assembly
- Assemble the Headboard and Footboard Sections: Connect the vertical leg sections (F) to the horizontal frame sections (A and B) using the provided bolts and Allen wrench. Do not fully tighten bolts until all sections are loosely connected.
- Attach Side Rails: Connect the side rails (C) to the assembled headboard and footboard sections. Ensure the connection points align correctly. Secure with bolts, but do not fully tighten yet.
- Install Center Support Bar: Place the center support bar (D) between the headboard and footboard sections, ensuring it aligns with the designated connectors. Secure it with bolts.
- Tighten All Bolts: Once all frame components are loosely assembled, go back and securely tighten all bolts using the Allen wrench. Ensure all connections are firm and stable.
- Place Steel Slats: Lay the steel slats (E) across the bed frame. The slats are designed to fit into specific slots or rest on support ledges. Ensure they are evenly spaced and securely in place.
- Final Check: Verify that the bed frame is stable and all connections are tight. The frame should not wobble.

Usage Guidelines
- Mattress Placement: Carefully place your twin-sized mattress directly onto the steel slats. No box spring is required.
- Weight Distribution: Distribute weight evenly across the bed frame to maintain structural integrity.
- Movement: Avoid dragging the bed frame when moving it. Lift the frame to reposition to prevent damage to the legs or floor.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the metal frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check all bolts and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability and prevent noise.
- Noise Prevention: The frame is designed to be noise-free. If any squeaking occurs, check and tighten all bolts.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bed frame is wobbly or unstable. | Loose bolts or incorrect assembly. | Ensure all bolts are fully tightened. Review assembly steps to confirm correct installation. |
| Squeaking noises. | Loose connections or friction between metal parts. | Tighten all bolts. Apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., silicone spray) to connection points if noise persists. |
| Mattress slides on the frame. | Smooth mattress bottom or frame surface. | Place a non-slip mat or rug gripper between the mattress and the slats. |
