4. Final Check: Ensure all bolts and screws are tightened. The bed should be stable and free from wobbling.

5. Usage Guidelines

• Place your Queen size mattress directly onto the provided slat system. A box spring is generally not required but can be used if desired, provided it fits within the frame.
• Ensure the bed is placed on a level surface to prevent strain on the frame.
• Avoid jumping on the bed, as this can damage the frame and slat system.
• The bed is designed for sleeping and resting purposes.

6. Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Wipe the wood surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that may damage the finish.
• Dusting: Regularly dust the bed frame with a dry, soft cloth.
• Hardware Check: Periodically inspect all bolts and screws and tighten them as needed to maintain structural integrity.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading or cracking of the wood finish.
• Humidity Control: Maintain a stable humidity level in the room to prevent wood from expanding or contracting excessively.

7. Troubleshooting

• Wobbling/Instability: Check all connections and tighten any loose bolts or screws. Ensure the bed is on a level surface.
• Squeaking Noises: Squeaking often indicates loose connections. Re-tighten all hardware. Applying a small amount of wax or lubricant to metal-on-metal or wood-on-wood contact points can also help.
• Damaged Parts: If any part is damaged or missing, do not attempt to force assembly. Contact customer support for replacement parts.
