Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the bed frame with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or polishes that may damage the finish.
- Spills: Clean up spills immediately to prevent staining or damage to the particle board.
- Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause the wood finish to fade or change color over time.
- Humidity: Maintain a stable room temperature and humidity level to prevent warping or cracking of the wood material.
