Using your Easton Wood Platform Bed is a breeze. First, find a suitable spot in your room that fits the bed's size. Since it doesn't need a box spring, you can directly place your mattress on the 12 wooden slats. When it comes to assembly, follow the instructions carefully as it does require some assembly. To keep your bed looking great, regularly dust the surface with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the mahogany solids and veneer. If there are any spills, wipe them up immediately. Also, make sure to check the slats from time to time to ensure they are secure and in good condition.
