Maintenance

- Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the painted finish.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bed feels wobbly or unstable. | Loose hardware connections. | Check and tighten all bolts and screws. Ensure the bed is on a level surface. |
| Drawers are difficult to open or close. | Overloaded drawer, obstruction, or misaligned runners. | Remove items to reduce weight. Check for obstructions. Ensure drawer runners are properly aligned and clean. |
