Using your Comet bed is simple. First, assemble it according to the included instructions. Make sure to place a box spring on the 4 slats for proper support. You can then put your mattress on top. This bed can hold up to 450 lbs, so it's suitable for most people. When it comes to maintenance, regularly dust the crystal accents and the white finish with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might scratch the metal frame or the acrylic parts. If there's a spill, clean it up right away to prevent stains. And remember, since it requires assembly, if you have any trouble, don't hesitate to refer back to the instructions or contact customer support.
