6. Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your bed frame.

• Cleaning: Wipe the metal frame and upholstered surfaces with a dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Hardware: Periodically check all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as needed to maintain stability.
• Drawers: Keep the area under the bed clear of obstructions to allow the drawers to slide smoothly.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Merax Metal Platform Bed, refer to the following common solutions:

• Squeaking Noises: Squeaking often indicates loose hardware. Re-tighten all bolts and screws on the frame, especially where the side rails connect to the headboard and footboard, and the central support legs.
• Instability/Wobbling: Ensure the bed frame is on a level surface. Check that all support legs are making firm contact with the floor and that all hardware is fully tightened.
• Drawers Not Sliding Smoothly: Verify that there are no objects obstructing the path of the drawers under the bed. Ensure the drawers are not overloaded.
• Missing Parts: If any parts were missing upon delivery, refer to the 'Package Contents' section and contact customer support with the specific part numbers.
