Using this bed is a breeze. Just place it in your desired spot in the bedroom and make it up with your favorite bedding. When it comes to weight, it's built to handle normal mattress and sleeping loads, so no need to worry. For cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to dust the solid oak frame and the forged iron accents regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the antique black finish. If there are any spills, wipe them up immediately. To keep the bed in top - notch condition, check the connections of the metal legs every few months to make sure they're tight. And since it doesn't require a box spring, you can save some space and money. Enjoy your stylish and comfortable new bed!
