Using this bed is super easy. First, make sure you have a suitable mattress and box - spring as they're not included. Place the bed in your desired spot in the bedroom. You can adjust the height of the headboard according to your preference. Just pick one of the five height settings for the most comfortable position. When it comes to maintenance, vacuum the upholstery regularly to keep it clean. If there are any stains, use a mild fabric cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the linen - look material. For the espresso - finished wood block feet, wipe them with a soft, dry cloth to keep them looking nice. Be careful when moving the bed to prevent scratches on the floor or damage to the bed itself.
