Using this go - kart twin bed is a breeze. First, assemble the bed following the included instructions as it requires full assembly. Once it's set up, place your child's favorite mattress on the metal slat system. You don't need a box spring as the slats are strong enough to support up to 200Lbs. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the metal parts for any signs of wear or looseness. If you notice any, tighten the bolts or screws. You can clean the bed with a mild soap and water solution, then dry it thoroughly to prevent rust. Keep in mind that this product is subject to Prop65 regulations. Also, make sure to choose the right options like color, size, and material according to your preferences when ordering.
