6. Care & Maintenance

  • Cleaning: For the upholstered fabric, spot clean only. Use a mild detergent and a damp cloth to gently clean any soiled areas. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Regular Checks: Periodically inspect all bolts and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability and prevent squeaking.
  • Avoid Excessive Moisture: Keep the bed frame in a dry environment to prevent damage to the wood and upholstery.
  • Moving the Bed: When moving the bed frame, lift it rather than dragging it to prevent damage to the legs and frame structure.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1 Squeaking Noises

If your bed frame develops squeaking noises:

  • Check all bolts and ensure they are securely tightened. Loose connections are a common cause of squeaking.
  • Verify that the wood slats are properly seated and the Velcro strips are engaged.
  • Ensure the center support legs are firmly on the ground and not wobbling.

7.2 Instability/Wobbling

If the bed frame feels unstable:

  • Re-check all assembly steps to ensure correct installation of all components, especially the corner brackets and center support system.
  • Confirm that the bed is on a level surface. Adjust the feet if necessary.
