Safety Instructions

Read all instructions before assembly. Ensure a safe workspace.

  1. Assemble on a soft surface (carpet/blanket) to avoid scratching parts.
  2. Use two people for assembly; bed frame is heavy.
  3. Check all connections are tight before use.
  4. Do not exceed maximum weight capacity (see Specifications).
  5. Keep small hardware away from children.

WARNING! Ensure bed frame is on a level surface. Loose connections can cause instability and injury.

Assembly Steps

Estimated assembly time: 45-60 minutes. Tools needed: Allen key (provided), hammer (optional for dowels).

  1. Lay out all parts and hardware; verify against parts list.
  2. Attach headboard to left side rail using dowels and cam locks.
  3. Attach footboard to left side rail in the same manner.
  4. Connect right side rail to headboard and footboard to form rectangle.
  5. Insert center support beam across middle; attach with provided screws.
  6. Place slatted bed base onto side rails and center beam.
  7. Attach support legs to each corner; adjust for leveling.
  8. Tighten all cam locks and bolts securely with Allen key.
  9. Place mattress on slatted base.

CAUTION! Do not overtighten screws; this may strip wood. Ensure frame is square before final tightening.

Specifications

Adjustments & Setup

After assembly, ensure bed frame is level and stable.

Leveling: Turn support legs clockwise to raise, counterclockwise to lower. Use a level on side rails.

Slat Tension: Slats are pre-tensioned; ensure all are evenly spaced and lying flat.

Headboard Height: Fixed; cannot be adjusted.

Re-tightening: Check bolts after 2 weeks of use; wood may settle.

Mattress Compatibility

Designed for standard Queen mattress (60" x 80").

  1. Ensure mattress is correct size; oversized mattresses may overhang.
  2. Use with IKEA or non-IKEA mattresses up to 14" thick.
  3. Do not use with box spring; slatted base provides sufficient support.
  4. For memory foam mattresses, ensure slats are no more than 3" apart.

Tip: Center mattress on frame for even weight distribution.

Care & Maintenance

Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

  1. Dust regularly with a soft cloth.
  2. For spills, wipe immediately with damp cloth and dry.
  3. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent fading/warping.
  4. Tighten bolts every 6 months to maintain stability.

CAUTION! Do not use wax, polish, or chemical cleaners; may damage finish.

Disassembly & Moving

To disassemble, reverse assembly steps.

  1. Remove mattress and slatted base.
  2. Loosen cam locks with Allen key and disconnect side rails.
  3. Remove support legs.
  4. Pack hardware in labeled bag for reassembly.
  5. Protect wood surfaces with blankets during move.
