What happens here

After the bed frame is fully assembled with the top slats, use an orbital sander with appropriate sandpaper (e.g., 80-120 grit) to smooth all exposed edges and surfaces of the wood. Pay particular attention to the edges of the pine slats where contact is likely, ensuring they are rounded and splinter-free. This step improves safety and the overall finish of the bed.

Goal: Smooth all sharp and rough edges of the assembled wooden bed frame to prevent snags and injuries.
