Operating Instructions

- 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
Proper care and maintenance will extend the life of your bunk bed.
- 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.
- Moving the Bed: When moving the bed, lift it rather than dragging it to prevent damage to the frame and floor.
