Safety Information
Adherence to safety guidelines is crucial for the proper use of the DHP Harlan Loft Bed. Please review the following:

- Do not exceed the maximum weight limit of 165 lbs for the bed.
- Do not exceed the maximum weight limit of 100 lbs for the integrated desk.
- Children should be supervised at all times when using the loft bed to ensure safe operation and prevent accidents.

Setup and Assembly
Assembly of the DHP Harlan Loft Bed is required. It is recommended to have at least two adults for assembly due to the size and weight of the components. While detailed instructions are included with the product packaging, here are some general tips:
- Unpack all components and verify against the parts list provided in the manual. Report any missing or damaged parts to customer support immediately.
- Clear a spacious area for assembly to allow for easy movement and component placement.
- Carefully follow the step-by-step diagrams and instructions. Pay close attention to the orientation of parts.
- Consider using a ratcheting allen wrench for easier and faster tightening of hardware, as some users have found this beneficial.
- Avoid over-tightening screws initially; tighten them fully only after all components for a section are loosely assembled and aligned.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and structural integrity of your DHP Harlan Loft Bed.
- Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish.
- Hardware Check: Periodically inspect all bolts, screws, and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability.
- Environmental Conditions: Avoid placing the bed in direct sunlight or near heat sources, which can cause wood to dry out, crack, or warp. Maintain a stable room temperature and humidity.
- Weight Distribution: Distribute weight evenly on both the bed and the desk to prevent undue stress on any single point.
