PROPOSED CHECKS — NO MEASURED RESULTS SUPPLIED
Date: __________________  Units: __________________
Room / product reference: __________________

1. Night contact map
Where: Along the door-to-bed route and beside the bed, wardrobe, shelf, and window.
Record: Mark projections at hand, shoulder, and shin positions; record their height and distance from the route in centimeters using adequate light.
Your observation: ______________________________________________
Interpretation: A contact map locates potential conflict but does not establish injury risk or authorize walking trials in unsafe darkness.
Alternative: Move or replace a projecting piece before treating softened corners as a substitute for enough space.

2. Fabric and skin contact finish
Where: At the actual frame corner, bedside edge, headboard, and timber shelf sample.
Record: Note visible roughness, catching on a spare cloth, uncomfortable seams, coating uncertainty, and any unknown history of reclaimed material.
Your observation: ______________________________________________
Interpretation: A tactile check describes immediate contact, not the safety of an unknown coating or the condition inside a reused board.
Alternative: Request appropriate preparation or material assessment; choose a known suitable product if the old surface cannot be understood.

3. Quiet furniture and controls
Where: At drawers, wardrobe fronts, reading lamps, and switches used while the other side of the bed is occupied.
Record: Log scraping, closing noise, awkward reach, direct lamp views, and whether clothing remains accessible without turning on the main source.
Your observation: ______________________________________________
Interpretation: The sequence tests domestic suitability for these routines, not a standardized sound level or guarantee against disturbing another sleeper.
Alternative: Use quieter storage hardware, a separate accessible lamp, or fewer workshop-derived pieces when the room becomes difficult to share.

PRACTICAL TRIAL
1. Check bedding against the actual edge rather than judging roughness from a photograph.
2. Review product-safe cable routes before accepting visible leads as part of the style.
3. Test the night route with appropriate safe illumination and ordinary furniture present.

COMPARE THE SAME SCOPE
- Finished frame and refined contact components
- Suitable mattress support and independent lamps
- Storage operation, coating care, and replaceable fittings
Cost drivers: Refining unfinished fabricated edges; Assessment and preparation of reclaimed timber; Replacing noisy hardware or inaccessible lights
Choose another route when: An industrial object is unsuitable for the bedroom when its roughness, projection, noise, or operating demands cannot be reconciled with sleeping and dressing.

EVIDENCE BOUNDARY
The worksheet describes proposed contact and routine checks, not a safety inspection of fabricated furniture or a test of unknown reclaimed-material coatings.

DECISION CONDITIONS
choose: Choose a limited structural reference when its edges, coating, bedding contact, storage operation, and useful lighting suit an actual sleeping room as well as its appearance.
alternative: Keep the dark frame but simplify surrounding pieces, or substitute a refined timber contact surface when rough workshop details create unnecessary daily friction.
stop: Stop using a piece in the bedroom when its projection, snagging, uncertain old surface, or operating noise cannot be appropriately resolved for the intended occupants.

CCI Note7/1: Care and Cleaning of Unfinished Wood

CCI warns that bare wood can be soft, absorbent, and vulnerable to cleaning, especially when older surfaces are fragile. It distinguishes assessing surface stability from simply choosing a cleaning method, supporting caution before treating a rough reclaimed bedside board as ready for daily contact.
Scope: Unfinished-wood conservation advice does not identify a pictured coating or establish the safety of reclaimed material or fabricated furniture.
