Using this bed is easy. First, assemble it according to the instructions. Place a boxspring on the 3 slats and 3 wooden supports. Once it's set up, you can use the 2 touch - sensor switches on the headboard to turn on the white LED lights for a cozy atmosphere. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the metallic white and faux marble finish regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the surface. Since it's not for commercial use, keep it in a home environment. And remember, if you need to move it, disassemble it carefully to prevent any damage.
