Using your Gramercy Mid - Century King Platform Bed is a breeze. First, find a suitable spot in your bedroom. Make sure the floor is clean and level to prevent any wobbling. Since it doesn't need a box spring, you can directly place your mattress on the 12 wooden slats provided. When it comes to assembly, follow the included instructions carefully as it does require some assembly. As for maintenance, regularly dust the bed with a soft, dry cloth to keep the Walnut finish looking great. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the Mahogany wood solids and veneer. If there are any spills, clean them up promptly with a mild, damp cloth. That's all there is to it, and you'll enjoy your beautiful bed for years to come.
