4. Step 4: Laying the Wooden Slats

   Position the wooden slats across the frame. The slats are designed to fit snugly and may have non-slip tape on the upper side to prevent mattress movement. Ensure the "Please peel off the upper strip" labels are facing upwards.

Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning: Spot clean only. Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Regular Checks: Periodically inspect all bolts and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability and prevent noise.
• Wood Care: As the frame is made of bamboo, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme humidity to prevent warping or damage.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking or Creaking Noises

• Cause: Loose bolts or connections.
• Solution: Re-tighten all assembly bolts, especially those connecting the frame rails and center supports. Ensure the wooden slats are properly seated and not rubbing against the frame.

Mattress Slippage

• Cause: Non-slip tape on slats not activated or worn.
• Solution: Ensure the protective film on the non-slip tape (if present) has been removed. If the tape is worn, consider applying new non-slip strips to the slats.
