7. Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your bed frame:
- Wipe the metal surfaces with a damp cloth as needed.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the powder-coated finish.
- Periodically check all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if any looseness is detected.
8. Troubleshooting
- Squeaking Noises: If the frame develops squeaking noises, check all connection points. Ensure all screws are fully tightened. The integrated rubber cushions are designed to prevent noise, but loose connections can still cause sound.
- Instability/Wobbling: If the frame feels unstable, verify that all legs are evenly placed on the floor and that all assembly steps have been completed correctly with all fasteners secured. Ensure the floor surface is level.
- Missing Parts: If any parts are missing upon arrival, please contact ALDRICH customer support for assistance.
