6. Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Max & Lily bunk bed, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or polishes that may damage the low VOC finish.
- Hardware: Periodically check all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain structural integrity and prevent creaking.
- Wood Care: The bed is made from solid wood. While durable, avoid exposing it to extreme temperature changes or direct sunlight for prolonged periods, which can cause warping or fading.
- Weight Distribution: Distribute weight evenly on both sleeping surfaces to prevent undue stress on the frame.
7. Troubleshooting
