Using this bed is easy. First, make sure you have a flat and stable surface to place it on. Since full assembly is required, follow the included instructions carefully. You'll need basic tools like a screwdriver. Once assembled, you can place your mattress on top. For cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the lacquer finish. If there are any spills, clean them up immediately to prevent stains. Also, keep heavy objects from hitting the bed to avoid scratches or dents. With proper care, this bed will serve you well for a long time.
