Using your Canyon Post Bed is a breeze. Just place your mattress on the slats, and you're all set for a good night's sleep. When it comes to the reversible side rails, you can choose the look that suits your bedroom decor. If you want a different style later, simply flip them over. As for maintenance, keep the bed clean by dusting it regularly with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the Canyon finish and the Danish Cord. When moving the bed, make sure to lift it properly to avoid any scratches or dents. Remember, this bed is made to last, so with a little care, it will be a part of your bedroom for years to come.
