Leaf Balance
Weigh each leaf stack before assembly — imbalance causes wobble when opened.
Pin Tension
Rivet or pin at consistent tension — too tight binds, too loose wobbles.
Splinter Care
Sand slat edges smooth — unfinished wood splinters catch fabric and skin.
Safety Notes
- Sand slat edges before handling — splinters embed in fabric and skin.
- Wear eye protection when drilling rivet holes in springy slats.
