Using this 14 - inch universal king metal platform bed frame is a breeze. First, find a suitable spot in your bedroom or guest room. Since it doesn't need a box spring, you can directly place your mattress on the steel slats. The adhesive strips will keep the mattress in place, so you won't have to worry about it shifting around. There's plenty of under - bed space for storage, so you can use it to keep extra blankets, clothes, or other items. When it comes to assembly, just use the included tools, and you'll have it set up in less than 30 minutes. To maintain your bed frame, clean it regularly with a damp cloth to remove any spills or dust. The fixed plastic glides protect your hard floors, but still be careful when moving the bed to avoid scratching. The noise - reducing felt pads between the middle rail and support slats will ensure a quiet night's sleep. Make sure not to overload the bed, as it's designed to hold up to 800 pounds.
