Using your new bed is easy. First, make sure you have a suitable box - spring as it's required for this bed. Once you've assembled the bed according to the instructions (since assembly is needed), place it in your desired spot in the bedroom. The soft ivory cotton blend fabric gives a cozy feel, but be careful with spills. Since the fabric cleaning code is 'W', you can spot - clean it with water - based cleaners. To keep the bed looking great, dust it regularly. Check the hardware from time to time to ensure the gold - colored parts are tight and in good condition. This bed will be a great addition to your bedroom for years to come.
