Using this bed is simple. First, assemble it as per the instructions included in the package. It's a great addition to your bedroom right away. When it comes to cleaning, since the fabric cleaning code is S, use a solvent - based cleaner. Be careful not to use too much liquid as the 100% polyester fabric might get damaged. As for maintenance, regularly check the hardware to make sure the gold - colored parts are in good condition. If you notice any loose parts, tighten them up. And because no box spring is required, you don't have to worry about its maintenance. Keep the bed away from sharp objects to prevent scratches on the upholstery. Enjoy a peaceful sleep on this luxurious bed.
