Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Wipe the bed frame and drawers with a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish.
- Hardware Check: Periodically inspect all bolts, screws, and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability.
