Secure it according to the instructions, ensuring it is centered and stable.
- Insert Wooden Slats: Lay the 12 wooden slats across the frame, evenly spaced. Many slats may have pre-drilled holes or clips to secure them to the side rails or center beam. Ensure each slat is properly seated and secured to provide optimal mattress support.

Do not overtighten.
- Place Mattress: Your GDFStudio King Size Upholstered Platform Bed Frame does not require a box spring. Place your King size mattress directly onto the assembled slats.
Usage Guidelines
To ensure the longevity and safety of your bed frame, please observe the following guidelines:
- Weight Capacity: The bed frame is designed to support a maximum weight of 800 lbs, including the mattress and occupants. Do not exceed this limit.
- Mattress Compatibility: This platform bed frame is designed for a King size mattress. A box spring is not required. Recommended mattress thickness is between 8 and 12 inches.

Distribute weight evenly across the mattress and slats.
- Movement: When moving the bed frame, lift it rather than dragging it to prevent damage to the legs or frame structure.
Care and Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and structural integrity of your bed frame.
- Cleaning the Upholstery: The fabric upholstery is soft, breathable, and wear-resistant. For general cleaning, gently vacuum the fabric to remove dust and debris. For spills or stains, spot clean immediately with a mild fabric cleaner and a soft, damp cloth. Test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area first. Do not saturate the fabric.

- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, strong detergents, or chemical solvents on any part of the bed frame, as these can damage the finish or fabric.
- Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged direct exposure to sunlight, which can cause fading of the fabric.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your bed frame, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bed frame feels unstable or wobbly. | Loose bolts or screws. | Check and tighten all assembly hardware. Ensure all support legs are firmly attached and touching the floor. |
| Squeaking noises. | Loose connections or friction between parts. | Retighten all bolts. Ensure slats are properly seated and not rubbing against the frame. Applying a small amount of lubricant (e.g., paraffin wax) to contact points between wood and metal can help. |
| Slats are shifting or falling out. | Improper slat installation or excessive movement. | Ensure all slats are correctly placed in their designated positions and secured if applicable. Verify the center support beam is correctly installed. |
