I'm having trouble with the last two screws on my bunk bed, which is made of a steel frame and held together by Phillips head screws. They just won't budge! Any suggestions on how to get them loose?

Have you considered using an impact driver? It’s like a game changer for stuck screws. I've used mine countless times and it always gets the job done! If you don't have one, I highly recommend grabbing one for future projects.
Check if you've stripped the heads of the screws. If not, you can try tapping your screwdriver with a hammer while turning it—it sometimes gives that extra push. If they really are stripped, you might need to drill out the heads and replace them later. Heat from a torch can also work wonders to loosen them!
You might want to try spraying some WD-40 on the threads of those screws. It can really help loosen them up!
Thanks for the tips! I haven't stripped them yet, so I'll give the tapping a shot first!
