Using your Emilia Pine Contemporary Panel Bed is easy. First, place it in your bedroom where you want it. Make sure the floor is flat. Then, add the support slats. You'll need to use a boxspring with this bed. Place your mattress on top of the boxspring. For the best look, choose a mattress that matches the style of your bed.

If there are any spills, clean them up right away. Also, check the metal parts regularly to make sure they're in good condition. This bed is made in Vietnam with high - quality solid pine hardwood, so it should last a long time if you take good care of it.
