4. Install Center Support Beam and Legs: Place the center support beam along the length of the frame and attach its support legs.

5. Operating Instructions

Using the Daybed:

• Mattress Placement: Place a full-size mattress directly onto the wooden slats. A mattress thickness of 6-8 inches is recommended to ensure the upholstered backrest and side panels are visible and functional.
• Weight Distribution: Distribute weight evenly across the daybed to maintain its structural integrity.

Using the Storage Drawers:

• Accessing Drawers: The two storage drawers are designed to roll freely on wheels. Gently pull the drawer fronts to open and push to close.
• Storage Capacity: Use the drawers for storing items such as clothes, linens, toys, or other household goods. Avoid overloading the drawers to ensure smooth operation and prevent damage.
• Drawer Movement: The drawers are not on fixed tracks. Guide them carefully when opening and closing to keep them aligned.

6. Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Wipe the upholstered linen fabric with a dry cloth to remove dust and light dirt. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
• Frame Care: For wooden parts, wipe with a dry cloth. Avoid excessive moisture.
• Hardware Check: Periodically inspect all screws, bolts, and connections to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability.
• Drawer Maintenance: Keep the area under the daybed clear to allow the storage drawers to roll smoothly. Clean any debris from the wheels as needed.

7. Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Issue: Daybed feels unstable or wobbly.
  Solution: Check all assembly hardware. Ensure all bolts and screws are fully tightened. Verify that the daybed is on a level surface.
• Issue: Drawers do not slide smoothly or get stuck.
  Solution: Ensure the drawers are not overloaded. Check for any obstructions (e.g., carpet edges, debris) under the drawers or around the wheels. Verify that the drawer components were assembled correctly and the wheels are properly attached.
• Issue: Upholstered backrest is not visible or is too low with the mattress.
  Solution: This daybed is designed for a mattress thickness of 6-8 inches. If using a thicker mattress (e.g., 12 inches or more), the mattress may cover a significant portion of the backrest. Consider using a thinner mattress for optimal aesthetic and functional balance.
• Issue: Missing parts or damaged components.
  Solution: Do not attempt to assemble with missing or damaged parts. Contact Merax customer support immediately for assistance and replacement parts.
