Using your Palma King Canopy Bed is straightforward. First, make sure to assemble it according to the provided instructions. Once assembled, you can place your favorite mattress on the three - slat support system. For maintenance, regularly remove dust with a soft, dry cloth. If you notice any smudges, gently wipe them with a slightly dampened soft cloth and then immediately dry the area with a dry cloth. When cleaning, always follow the direction of the wood grain. Avoid leaving any liquids on the surface as this could damage the finish. Also, be aware that there is a Prop 65 warning because of wood dust, so handle it with care.
