Using your Charlotte full - size transitional upholstered bed is a breeze. First, simply place your mattress on the full platform decking. You don't need a box spring, so that saves you some trouble. To use the USB charging port, just plug in your phone or tablet's charger into the port on the side of the headboard. It's right there for easy access. When it comes to maintenance, keep the bed clean by regularly dusting the wood frame and wiping the upholstered headboard with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the performance fabric as it may damage its liquid - repelling properties. Also, try to keep sharp objects away from the bed to prevent scratches on the wood and tears in the fabric. And that's all you need to know to enjoy your beautiful Charlotte bed for years to come.
