Operating Instructions
Storage Shelves
The integrated storage shelves are located within the headboard unit. These shelves are ideal for storing books, decorative items, or personal belongings. Ensure items placed on the shelves do not obstruct the charging station or fall onto the bed.
Storage Drawers
The two spacious drawers located beneath the bed provide additional storage for bedding, clothing, or other items. These drawers operate on smooth glides for easy access. Avoid overloading the drawers to ensure smooth operation and prevent damage.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Merax Platform Bed, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bed feels unstable or wobbly | Loose hardware connections | Check and re-tighten all bolts and screws. Ensure all parts are correctly aligned. |
| Drawers do not slide smoothly | Overloaded drawers, debris in glides, or misaligned glides | Reduce drawer contents. Clean glides. Check drawer assembly and alignment. |
| Charging station not working | Power cord not plugged in, wall outlet not functional, or device issue | Ensure the bed's power cord is fully plugged into a working wall outlet. Test the wall outlet with another device. Try a different device with the charging station. |
