• Storage Shelves: Utilize the front storage shelves for books, toys, and other lightweight items. Avoid overloading the shelves to maintain stability.
• Weight Capacity: Adhere to the maximum weight capacity for each bunk as specified in the product documentation or on warning labels.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish.
• Hardware Check: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) inspect all bolts, screws, and connectors. Tighten any that have become loose. Do not overtighten.
• Avoid Moisture: Protect the bed from excessive moisture and direct sunlight, which can cause warping or fading.
