Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bed does not open/close smoothly. | Obstruction in the mechanism or loose hardware. | Check for any items blocking the movement. Inspect and tighten all hinges and bolts. |
| Rotable desk surface is not completely flat. | Design characteristic or minor manufacturing variation. | For activities requiring a perfectly flat surface (e.g., writing, drawing), consider using a thin, rigid mat or board on top of the desk. |
| Unit feels unstable or wobbly. | Loose connections or uneven floor. | Re-tighten all assembly hardware. Ensure the unit is placed on a level surface. Use shims if necessary. |
