Using your Porto Bed is easy. Just place your favorite mattress on it and add your bedding to create a cozy sleeping space. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to dust the bed regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the hand - rubbed black finish. Since there's a Prop 65 warning for wood dust, try to keep the area around the bed clean to minimize exposure. Also, make sure the bed is placed on a flat and stable surface. If you move the bed, be careful because it weighs 260 lbs. And remember, this bed doesn't have an anti - tip kit, so take extra precautions to prevent it from tipping over.
