- Identify Parts: Refer to the included installation manual for a detailed list and diagram of all parts and hardware.

Operating Instructions
After successful assembly, your Merax Retro Queen Size Wood Bed Frame is ready for use.
- Mattress Placement: Place your Queen size mattress directly onto the wooden slats. A box spring is not required for this platform bed design. The recommended mattress thickness is 8 inches.
- Weight Distribution: Ensure weight is distributed evenly across the bed frame. Avoid concentrating heavy loads on small areas.
- Underbed Storage: Utilize the underbed space for storage. Ensure items stored do not obstruct the bed frame's stability or airflow.

Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your bed frame.
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the wood surfaces with a dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a damp cloth and immediately wipe dry to prevent moisture damage.
- Fastener Check: Periodically check all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability and prevent squeaking.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or strong chemical solvents, as these can damage the wood finish.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your bed frame, refer to the following common solutions:
- Squeaking Noises: Squeaking often indicates loose connections. Re-tighten all bolts and screws on the frame, especially where the side rails connect to the headboard and footboard, and where slats are secured. Ensure the center support legs are firmly on the floor.
- Instability/Wobbling: Check that all components are correctly assembled according to the manual and that all fasteners are fully tightened. Ensure the bed frame is on a level surface.
- Damaged Parts: If any part is damaged during shipping or assembly, do not attempt to force it. Contact customer support for replacement parts.
