5. Setup and Assembly

Assembly of the Merax Platform Bed is required. Please follow the detailed instructions provided in the separate installation manual included with your packages. Ensure you have sufficient space and all tools ready before starting.

General Assembly Steps:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the two packages and lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches. Verify against the parts list in your installation manual.
2. Assemble Main Bed Frame: Follow the manual to connect the side rails, footboard, and headboard. Ensure all bolts are finger-tightened initially.
3. Install Wood Slats: Secure the wooden slats onto the main bed frame. These provide mattress support and eliminate the need for a box spring.
4. Assemble Trundle Bed: Construct the trundle frame according to the manual, including its own set of slats.
5. Assemble Storage Drawers: Put together the three storage drawers.
6. Final Tightening: Once all components are in place, systematically tighten all bolts and screws using the provided tools. Do not overtighten.
7. Insert Trundle and Drawers: Slide the assembled trundle and storage drawers into their designated positions under the main bed frame.

6. Operating Instructions

Using the Trundle Bed:

The trundle bed is designed to slide smoothly from underneath the main bed. To use, gently pull the trundle frame outwards from the front of the bed. It is equipped with wheels for easy movement. To store, push the trundle back into its compartment until it is fully recessed.

Using the Storage Drawers:

The three storage drawers are located beneath the main bed frame. To open, pull the drawer handles outwards. To close, push the drawers back into their compartments until they are flush with the bed frame. These drawers are ideal for storing bedding, clothes, or other items to keep your room organized.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: For the upholstered linen fabric, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild detergent for spot cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For the wood components, wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
• Hardware Check: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) inspect all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability and safety.
• Slats: Ensure all wooden slats are properly seated and undamaged. Replace any broken slats immediately to prevent mattress damage or injury.
• Drawer Rails: Keep drawer rails free of dust and debris to ensure smooth operation.

8. Troubleshooting

• Bed feels wobbly: Check all assembly hardware. Ensure every bolt and screw is securely tightened. Uneven flooring can also contribute; consider using furniture pads to level the bed.
• Trundle or drawers are difficult to slide: Check for obstructions in the tracks or under the bed. Ensure the wheels/glides are clean and free of debris. Verify that the trundle and drawers were assembled correctly and are not misaligned.
• Squeaking noises: Squeaking often indicates loose connections. Re-tighten all hardware. If the noise persists, apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., silicone spray) to metal-on-metal contact points, or place felt pads between wood components.
• Mattress does not fit the trundle: The trundle bed is designed for a standard twin-size mattress. Ensure the mattress thickness is appropriate for the trundle's clearance. Typically, a mattress for the trundle should not exceed 6 inches in height to allow it to slide under the main bed.
