Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life of your bed.

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Hardware Check: Periodically (every 3-6 months) check all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary.
• Avoid Moisture: Keep the bed away from excessive moisture or direct sunlight to prevent warping or fading.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, refer to these common solutions.

• Difficulty during Assembly / Misaligned Holes:
  Solution: Ensure all parts are correctly oriented as per the diagrams. Loosen adjacent connections slightly to allow for adjustment, then re-tighten once aligned. Do not force parts together. If a part is genuinely defective, contact customer support.
• Bed Feels Unstable or Wobbly:
  Solution: Check all bolts and screws. Ensure they are fully tightened. Verify that the bed is placed on a level surface.
• Trundle Does Not Slide Smoothly:
  Solution: Check for any obstructions under the bed or in the trundle's path. Ensure the trundle wheels are clean and free of debris. Verify that the trundle frame was assembled correctly and the wheels are securely attached.
• Missing Parts:
  Solution: Carefully check all packaging materials. If parts are genuinely missing, contact customer support with your purchase details and the specific part numbers required.
