7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your bed frame.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bed feels wobbly or unstable. | Loose fasteners. | Check and re-tighten all bolts and screws on the headboard, footboard, and side rails. Ensure the center rail is securely attached. |
| Squeaking noises. | Loose connections or friction between parts. | Re-tighten all fasteners. If squeaking persists, apply a small amount of furniture wax or silicone spray to contact points between wood components or where slats rest on rails. |
| Pillow slides through headboard gap. | Gap between mattress and headboard due to mattress type/size. | Use a larger pillow or place an additional decorative pillow behind your sleeping pillow to bridge the gap. Alternatively, consider adding a custom support piece behind the mattress. |
