Using your Aventura panel bed is easy. First, make sure to assemble it as per the instructions provided. Once assembled, you can place your mattress on the five wood slats with adjustable center support legs. When it comes to maintenance, keep it clean by regularly removing dust with a soft, dry cloth. If there are any smudges, use a soft, slightly dampened cloth to clean them, and then dry the surface right away with a dry cloth. Always clean in the direction of the wood grain. Be careful not to let any liquids stand on the surface as it can damage the finish. Also, since it has a Prop 65 warning for wood dust, take necessary precautions during assembly and if you're doing any repairs or alterations.
