Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bed feels unstable or wobbly. | Loose fasteners. | Check and tighten all bolts and screws. Ensure all components are correctly assembled. |
| LED light not working. | Power cord not plugged in; loose connection; faulty switch. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check all wiring connections to the headboard. Verify the switch is in the "on" position. |
