4. Setup and Assembly Instructions
Assembly of the DERCASS Storage Platform Bed requires two adults. Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the separate assembly manual included with your product. Ensure you have adequate space and the necessary tools (typically an Allen wrench, which is usually provided, and a Phillips head screwdriver, not always included).

- Assemble Headboard: Begin by assembling the headboard and its integrated shelving units. Connect the USB charging module as instructed.
- Assemble Bed Frame: Attach the side rails to the headboard and footboard.

- Assemble Drawers: Assemble the two storage drawers.
- Position Trundle and Drawers: The trundle and drawers can be positioned on either side of the bed, allowing flexibility for your room layout. Slide them into place under the main bed frame.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the bed frame and surfaces with a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which may damage the finish.
- Fastener Check: Periodically inspect all bolts and screws to ensure they are tight. Retighten as necessary, but do not overtighten.
- Avoid Moisture: Keep the bed frame dry. Prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the wood and MDF components.
7. Troubleshooting
- Squeaking Noises: If the bed squeaks, check all bolts and screws and tighten them. Ensure the mattress is properly seated on the slats.
- Drawers/Trundle Sticking: Ensure the floor surface is level. Check for any obstructions in the tracks or under the drawers/trundle. Clean any debris from the wheels.
- USB Port Not Working: Verify that the bed's power connection (if applicable for the USB module) is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check the USB cable and device for proper function.
- Missing Parts: If any parts are missing or damaged upon arrival, do not proceed with assembly. Contact DERCASS customer support immediately.
