7. Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bed feels wobbly or unstable. | Loose bolts or uneven assembly. | Ensure all bolts are fully tightened. Check that the bed is on a level surface. Re-assemble if necessary, ensuring all parts are correctly aligned before tightening. |
| Squeaking noises. | Loose connections or friction between metal parts. | Tighten all bolts. Apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., silicone spray) to connection points if squeaking persists. |
| Mattress slides on the bunk. | Mattress not properly secured or incorrect size. | Ensure the mattress fits snugly within the frame. For the lower bunk, the integrated headboard and footboard should prevent sliding. Consider using a non-slip mat under the mattress if needed. |
