Step 3: Install Support Legs and Slats
Attach the central support legs to the middle beam of the bed frame. Then, place the metal slats across the side rails, ensuring they are evenly spaced and securely seated in their designated positions. Some slats may require screwing into place.
Step 4: Final Tightening
Once all components are in place and aligned, systematically tighten all screws and bolts using the Allen key. Ensure all connections are firm and secure, but do not overtighten to avoid stripping threads.

5. Operation (Usage)
This bed frame is designed to support a mattress of 120 x 200 cm. A mattress is not included with the bed frame and must be purchased separately. Place the mattress directly onto the metal slats. The headboard provides comfortable support for sitting up in bed.
The space underneath the bed, approximately 26 cm (10.2 inches) high, can be utilized for storage, such as storing boxes or containers.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the metal frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the powder-coated finish.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) inspect all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten any loose fasteners to maintain stability and safety.
- Avoid Moisture: Keep the bed frame in a dry environment to prevent rust or damage to the metal.
- Moving the Bed: When moving the bed frame, lift it rather than dragging it to prevent damage to the frame or your flooring.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
