Using your new Malibu bed is a breeze. First, make sure you have a suitable boxspring as it's required for this bed. After you've assembled the bed (which yes, you'll need to do), place it in your bedroom. The white lacquer finish is quite durable, but to keep it looking great, avoid using abrasive cleaners. Instead, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe it down regularly. The gold hardware gives it a luxurious look, so be gentle when moving the bed to prevent scratching. If you notice any dust, just use a dry cloth to clean it. With proper care, this bed will be a beautiful centerpiece in your bedroom for years to come.
