Using your Santee sleigh bed is simple. First, make sure you have a suitable box spring as it's required for this bed. Once you've assembled the bed following the instructions (assembly is required), place the box spring on the bed frame. Then, add your mattress and make the bed with your favorite sheets and comforters.
When it comes to maintenance, keep the bed away from direct sunlight to prevent the finish from fading. Wipe it regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If there are any spills, clean them up immediately with a mild cleaner and a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or rough materials that could scratch the surface. Also, check the joints and screws periodically to ensure they're tight and the bed remains stable.
