4. Assembly Instructions

Assembly is estimated to take approximately 60 minutes with two people. Please follow these steps carefully.

Step 4.1: Unpack and Identify Parts

Carefully unpack all components from both boxes. Lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches. Identify each part using the provided parts list.

Step 4.2: Attach Legs to Headboard and Footboard

Secure the wood-look tapered legs to the headboard and footboard using the provided hardware. Ensure they are tightened firmly but do not overtighten.

Step 4.3: Connect Side Rails to Headboard and Footboard

Attach the side rails to the headboard and footboard using the designated bolts and washers. Ensure all connections are flush and secure. It is recommended to have a second person assist with holding the components during this step.

Step 4.4: Install Center Support Beam

Place the center support beam into the designated slots or brackets along the length of the bed frame. Secure it with the provided hardware. This beam provides crucial central support for the mattress.

Step 4.5: Lay Out Wooden Slats

Unroll or individually place the wooden slats across the bed frame, ensuring they are evenly spaced. The slats are designed to provide stable mattress support and improve airflow, eliminating the need for a box spring. Secure the slats using any provided fasteners or Velcro strips.

6. Maintenance and Care

6.1 Upholstery Care

The bed frame is upholstered in a velvet-like polyester fabric. To maintain its appearance:

• Regularly vacuum the fabric with a soft brush attachment to remove dust and debris.
• For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this can spread the stain.
• For tougher stains, use a mild fabric cleaner specifically designed for polyester upholstery. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
• Avoid direct sunlight exposure for prolonged periods to prevent fading.

6.2 Frame and Legs Care

Wipe the wood-look legs and any exposed frame components with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1 Squeaking Noises

If the bed frame develops squeaking noises, check all bolts and screws. Tighten any loose connections. Ensure the wooden slats are properly seated and not rubbing against the frame.

7.2 Instability

If the bed frame feels unstable, re-check all assembly steps. Ensure all hardware is correctly installed and tightened. Verify that the center support beam is properly positioned and secured.

7.3 Missing or Damaged Parts
