5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and ensure the safety of your loft bed.
- Cleaning: Wipe the metal frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the powder-coated finish.

- Structural Integrity: Inspect the bed frame regularly for any signs of damage, bending, or wear. Discontinue use if any structural damage is observed and contact customer support.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues during assembly or use, refer to the following common solutions:
- Difficulty with Assembly / Unlabeled Parts: The assembly instructions primarily use diagrams. Carefully review each diagram and compare parts to the illustrations. If parts are truly indistinguishable or misaligned, double-check the orientation and ensure you are using the correct hardware for each step. If issues persist, contact customer support.
- Squeaking Noises: Squeaking often indicates loose connections. Systematically check and retighten all bolts and screws on the bed frame. Ensure the mattress is properly seated.
- Missing or Damaged Parts: If you find any parts missing or damaged upon opening the package, do not attempt to assemble the bed. Contact Amazon Basics customer support immediately for replacement parts.
- Bed Instability: Ensure all fasteners are fully tightened. Verify that the bed is placed on a flat, level surface. Uneven flooring can cause instability.
