Maintenance and Care
Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and appearance of your Zinus Elias bed frame.
Cleaning:

- Inspect the metal slats for any signs of damage or bending.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your bed frame, refer to the following common solutions:
Squeaking Noises:

- Floor Surface: Uneven floors can sometimes cause the frame to shift and squeak. Consider placing felt pads under the legs.
Instability/Wobbling:
- Verify Assembly: Re-check all assembly steps to ensure no parts were missed or incorrectly installed.
- Tighten All Bolts: Ensure all bolts are securely tightened.
- Level Surface: Place the bed frame on a flat, level surface.
