Step 3: Attach Footboard
Connect the other ends of the side rails to the footboard, aligning holes and securing with bolts and washers. Once all four corners are connected, gently tighten all bolts using the Allen wrench until snug. Avoid overtightening.
Step 4: Install Center Support Beam
Place the center support beam along the middle of the bed frame, running from the headboard to the footboard. Secure it to the pre-installed brackets or designated attachment points on the headboard and footboard using the provided hardware.
Step 5: Place Wood Slats
Distribute the wood slats evenly across the bed frame, resting them on the side rails and the center support beam. Secure each slat to the side rails using the provided screws. Ensure slats are spaced appropriately to provide adequate mattress support.

Operation
Mattress Placement
Place your queen-size mattress directly onto the wood slats. The platform design of the Elina bed does not require a box spring. Ensure the mattress is centered and fits within the frame dimensions.
Using Built-in Shelves
The headboard features three shelves on each side, providing convenient storage for books, decorative items, or bedside essentials. Distribute weight evenly on the shelves and avoid placing excessively heavy items to prevent damage.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the wood surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or polishes that may damage the finish.
- Dusting: Regularly dust the bed frame and shelves with a dry, soft cloth.
- Hardware Check: Periodically check all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability and prevent squeaking.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading or damage to the wood finish.
- Spills: Clean spills immediately with a soft, dry cloth to prevent staining or water damage.
Troubleshooting
