Using your Brooks Contemporary Tufted Shelter Platform Bed is easy. First, place the bed in your desired spot in the bedroom. Make sure the anti - skid rubber feet are in contact with the floor to keep it stable. You can choose any mattress type that suits you and place it on the bed. Decorate the headboard with throw pillows to add a personal touch. When it comes to maintenance, regularly dust the bed with a soft cloth. If there are any stains, use a mild detergent and a damp cloth to gently clean the affected area. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the Antique White Polyester finish. Also, check the anti - skid rubber feet from time to time to ensure they are in good condition. If you plan to use an adjustable base, make sure it is properly installed and compatible with the bed.
