Using this bed is straightforward. First, assemble it following the included instructions as full assembly is needed. Once assembled, place your mattress on the bed, and it will hold it firmly without a box - spring. To keep it looking great, clean the leather upholstery regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the leather. Keep the bed in a dry environment to prevent the wooden parts from warping. If you notice any loose parts, tighten them promptly. This bed is for home use only, not for commercial purposes.
