5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and stability of your bed frame.
- Cleaning: Wipe the metal frame with a soft, damp cloth. For the wooden headboard, use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

- Slat Inspection: Periodically check the wooden slats for any signs of damage or cracking. Replace any damaged slats immediately to ensure proper mattress support.
- Moving the Bed: When moving the bed frame, lift it rather than dragging it to prevent damage to the legs or frame structure.
