Using the Storage Drawers:

Adjustable Headboard:

The headboard height can be adjusted during the initial assembly to accommodate different mattress thicknesses and personal preferences. Once assembled, the height is fixed.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: For the linen fabric, gently wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, abrasive materials, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the fabric and finish.
• Hardware Check: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) inspect all bolts, screws, and connections. Re-tighten any loose hardware to maintain stability and prevent squeaking.
• Drawer Care: Keep the drawer tracks free of dust and debris to ensure smooth operation. If drawers become stiff, check for obstructions or damage to the wheels.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause the fabric color to fade.

7. Troubleshooting

• Issue: Bed frame feels unstable or wobbly.
  Solution: Ensure all assembly hardware (bolts, screws) are fully tightened. Verify the bed frame is placed on a flat, level surface.
• Issue: Squeaking noises.
  Solution: Re-tighten all bolts and screws. Check that the wooden slats are properly seated and evenly distributed. Ensure the mattress is correctly positioned.
• Issue: Storage drawers are difficult to open or close.
  Solution: Check for any items obstructing the drawer's path or wheels. Ensure the drawer wheels are properly installed and free of debris. Verify the drawer itself is assembled correctly and not warped.
• Issue: Missing parts during unboxing.
  Solution: Carefully check all packaging materials. If parts are still missing, contact customer support immediately with your purchase details.
