General Care:

• Periodically check all bolts and screws and re-tighten them to ensure the bed remains stable.
• Avoid dragging the bed when moving it; lift it to prevent damage to the frame and flooring.
• Protect the surface from direct sunlight and extreme temperature changes to prevent fading or warping.

7. Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions:

  - Ensure drawers are not overloaded. Check drawer glides for obstructions or damage. Verify that the bed frame is assembled squarely and is not warped.
• Bed Feels Unstable:
  - Re-check all assembly points, especially the main frame connections. Ensure all hardware is fully tightened. Verify that the bed is on a level surface.
