Using your Potter full-size wood panel bed is easy. First, make sure you have a suitable box spring as it's required for this bed. Once you've got that, assemble the bed following the included instructions. It might take a bit of time, but it's worth it for a good night's sleep. When it comes to making the bed, use your favorite sheets and pillows to make it look and feel inviting. As for maintenance, keep the bed clean by dusting it regularly with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the French Truffle finish. If there are any spills, wipe them up immediately. Also, be careful not to put too much weight on the slanted-edge legs to prevent any damage. With proper care, your bed will last for many years.
