The Storkcraft Long Horn bed can be configured as a space-saving bunk bed or separated into two individual twin beds.

Refer to the specific sections in your included assembly manual for detailed steps on converting the bed into two individual twin beds. This typically involves not stacking the bed frames and using the appropriate hardware for standalone configurations.

5. Usage Guidelines

  • Always use the ladder to access the top bunk. Do not climb on the side rails or other parts of the bed.
  • Ensure the area around the bunk bed is clear of obstacles to prevent falls.
  • Regularly inspect the bed for any loose hardware, damaged parts, or signs of wear. Tighten connections as needed.
  • Do not allow more than one person on the top bunk at a time.

6. Care and Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Storkcraft Long Horn Bunk Bed, follow these care instructions:

  • Wipe surfaces with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish.
  • Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Periodically check and tighten all hardware to ensure the bed remains stable and secure.
  • Protect the bed from direct sunlight and extreme temperature changes to prevent warping or fading.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your bunk bed, consider the following common solutions:

  • Wobbling or Instability: Check all bolts and screws to ensure they are securely tightened. Uneven flooring can also contribute to wobbling; try repositioning the bed or using furniture pads.
  • Squeaking Noises: Squeaking often indicates loose connections. Re-tighten all hardware. Applying a small amount of wax or lubricant to metal-on-metal contact points (if applicable) can also help.
  • Missing Parts: If you find any parts missing upon unpacking, refer to the contact information in the Warranty and Support section to request replacements.
