Troubleshooting
The bed base is difficult to lift or does not stay open.
Ensure the gas hydraulic system is installed correctly according to the instructions. New gas struts can be stiff initially; try applying a firm, even upward pressure to engage them fully. Also, check for any obstructions in the storage area that might be preventing smooth operation.
I can't decide which side the bed should lift from during assembly.
The bed features colour-coded holes specifically for this purpose. Consult your assembly manual for clear guidance on how to use these holes to configure the lift mechanism for either a left-hand or right-hand opening, based on your room's layout.
The bed appears to be scratching my un-carpeted floor.
As recommended, install rubber or felt protection pads under each leg of the bed frame. These pads are designed to prevent damage to hard flooring surfaces.
Components seem loose after assembly.
Periodically check and retighten all bolts and fasteners to ensure the bed remains stable and secure. This is a standard maintenance practice for self-assembled furniture.
