4. Setup and Assembly Instructions
Assembly of the DORTALA Twin Loft Bed requires attention to detail. Follow these steps carefully:

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and safety of your DORTALA Twin Loft Bed.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your loft bed, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bed feels wobbly or unstable. | Loose hardware; improper assembly; not attached to wall. | Ensure all bolts and screws are fully tightened. Re-check assembly steps. Attach the bed to the wall using the provided anti-tipping kit. |
| Squeaking noises. | Loose connections; friction between wood parts. | Tighten all hardware. If squeaking persists, disassemble and reassemble, ensuring all parts are aligned correctly. A small amount of wax or lubricant on contact points can help. |
| Slide feels too fast/slippery. | Surface material; clothing friction. | Ensure proper supervision during slide use. Consider placing a soft mat at the bottom of the slide. |
