Using your new full - size rattan platform bed is a piece of cake. First, unpack all the parts carefully and lay them out. Then, follow the simple instructions and use the included hardware to assemble the bed. It shouldn't take you too long. Once it's set up, just place your mattress on top and you're ready to enjoy a great night's sleep. As for maintenance, keep the bed away from direct sunlight for long periods to prevent the rattan from fading. Wipe it down with a dry or slightly damp cloth regularly to keep it clean. If there are any small scratches on the rattan, don't worry too much as it gives the bed a bit of character. But if it's a big scratch, you can contact our customer service for advice. Also, avoid placing heavy objects on the headboard that could damage the delicate rattan weave. With these simple tips, your bed will look great and last you a long time.
