Using this bed is easy. Simply place your mattress on the platform. Since it doesn't need a box - spring, setup is quick. For a more comfortable and stylish look, you can add some pillows on the upholstered headboard. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the faux boucle upholstery regularly to keep it looking great. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they may damage the fabric. Keep the bed away from direct sunlight to prevent the color from fading. If you notice any loose parts, check the connections of the pinewood and rubberwood frame and tighten them gently. With proper care, this bed will serve you well for a long time.
