6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the bed frame with a damp cloth to clean. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the finish.
• Regular Checks: Periodically inspect all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain the bed's stability and safety.
• Slats: Ensure wood slats are properly positioned and secured to provide adequate mattress support.

7. Troubleshooting

• Bed feels wobbly: This often indicates loose connections. Re-check and tighten all bolts and screws on the frame and ladder. Ensure the bed is placed on a level surface.
