Using this bed is easy. First, place it in the desired location in your bedroom. Since the mattress and box spring aren't included, you'll need to buy them separately and set them on the bed frame. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the matte black finish regularly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the surface. If there are any stains, a mild soap and water solution can be used, but make sure to dry the bed thoroughly afterward. For long - term use, check the connections of the metal parts occasionally to ensure they're tight and secure. This will keep your bed stable and looking great for years to come.
