Using this sleigh bed is simple. Once it's fully assembled as required, you can place your favorite mattress on it and start enjoying a good night's sleep. When it comes to maintenance, just use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface regularly to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the wood finish. Also, be careful when moving any objects around the bed to prevent scratches. Make sure to check the assembly parts periodically to ensure they are still tight. This way, your bed will stay in great condition for a long time.
