Using your Modulum King Sleigh Bed is straightforward. First, make sure you assemble it following the instructions carefully. Once assembled, you can place your favorite mattress on the five adjustable wood slats for a comfortable sleep. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to dust it regularly. If there are any smudges, dampen a soft cloth slightly, clean the area, and then dry it right away with a dry cloth. Always follow the grain direction while cleaning to avoid any damage. Be careful not to let liquids stand on the surface, as this could cause stains or other issues. Also, keep in mind that the headboard is part of the bed and can't be used alone. Since there's a PROP 65 warning about wood dust, try to keep the area around the bed clean to minimize exposure.
