Using your Danette Canopy Bed is easy. Just place your mattress on the bed frame and you're ready to enjoy a comfortable night's sleep. This bed can be used both indoors and outdoors, but it's best to keep it covered if used outside to protect it from the elements. When it comes to maintenance, simply dust the wood frame regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For the upholstery, vacuum it occasionally to keep it clean. Since wood is a natural material, avoid placing it in direct sunlight for long periods as this may cause the color to fade. Also, be careful not to scratch or damage the wood surface. With proper care, your Danette Canopy Bed will last for a long time and continue to add style to your space.
