Assembly Tips:
Some users have noted that while assembly is generally easy, paying close attention to part labels (if available) and ensuring all connections are tight, especially wing nuts, is crucial for stability. Assembling the frame upside down initially can simplify the process before inserting horizontal slats.

5. Troubleshooting
Common Concerns:
- Squeaking: If the frame develops squeaks, ensure all bolts and connections are tightened securely. The durable steel construction is designed to minimize noise.
- Mattress Slippage: The frame includes non-slip tape on some slats to prevent the mattress from sliding. Ensure these are properly utilized.
- Assembly Difficulty: While generally easy, some users have noted that the instructions could be clearer regarding part labeling. Refer to the user guide for detailed visual instructions.
