Using this bed is easy. First, find a suitable spot in your bedroom for it. Then, assemble the bed following the instructions provided. Since it's a platform bed, you don't need a box spring. Just place your mattress directly on the 12 wooden slats. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the Mahogany and rattan parts. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the finish. If you need to move the bed, be careful with the legs which are 10.71 in measurement. Keep it away from direct sunlight for long periods to prevent the dark Walnut color from fading.
