Using your Anderson Playhouse Bed is a breeze. First, assemble it following the clear instructions and using the provided tools. Once it's set up, place your child's favorite bedding on the bed. The semi - enclosed space is great for making your child feel safe while sleeping. You can use the two drawers to store clothes, toys, or other small items, and the shelf at the back is perfect for books or small decorations. When it comes to maintenance, regularly dust the bed with a soft cloth. If there are any stains, use a mild soap and water solution to clean the surface. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the pinewood frame. Also, make sure to check the frame periodically for any loose parts and tighten them if necessary. Remember, a mattress is not included, so you'll need to get one that fits the bed's dimensions. With proper care, this bed will provide a cozy and fun space for your child for years to come.
