Using this Provence bed is a breeze. Just place your mattress on the full decking support system - no box spring needed. You can charge your phone or tablet at any time by plugging them into the USB ports on the headboard. When it comes to maintenance, the liquid - repelling fabric on the headboard makes it easy to clean up spills. Just wipe it with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the wood and the fabric. The bed is made of select hardwoods and acacia veneer, so keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration. Also, don't place heavy objects on the floral detail knob hardware to avoid breakage.
