Using your Vaughn Full Bed is easy. First, assemble it following the included instructions. Once it's set up, place your mattress on the slats. You don't need a boxspring, which makes it a simple setup. To keep your bed in great shape, vacuum the chenille fabric regularly to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the wood base or the fabric. If there are any spills on the chenille, gently blot them with a clean, damp cloth. Be careful not to exceed the 550 - pound weight capacity to ensure the bed's long - lasting durability. Also, since it has natural wood grain color variation, appreciate the unique look of your bed as it is a natural characteristic of the wood.
