5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the metal frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
• Check Connections: Periodically inspect all bolts and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability and prevent squeaking.
• Slat Care: Ensure the wooden slats are free from debris and are properly seated on the frame's support rails.

6. Troubleshooting

• Squeaking Noises: If the bed frame begins to squeak, check all assembly bolts and tighten them securely. Loose connections are the most common cause of noise.
• Mattress Sliding: Ensure the anti-slip tape on the wooden slats is clean and intact. If the mattress continues to slide, consider adding additional non-slip pads between the mattress and the slats.
• Wobbling: A wobbling frame indicates loose connections. Re-check and tighten all bolts, especially those connecting the headboard, footboard, and side rails.
