Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Bellemave bunk bed.
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.

- Wood Care: Protect the wood finish from direct sunlight and extreme temperature changes to prevent warping or fading.
- Moving the Bed: When moving the bed, lift it rather than dragging it to prevent damage to the frame and floor.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your bunk bed, refer to the following common solutions:
- Wobbly Frame: Check all bolts and screws. If any are loose, tighten them securely. Ensure the bed is on a level surface.
