Using your Langley Bed is a breeze. First, assemble it according to the included instructions. Once it's set up, place your box spring and mattress on top. You'll find it fits a queen - size mattress perfectly. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to dust the bed regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they may damage the licorice finish. If there are any spills, clean them up immediately with a mild soap and water solution. Be careful when moving items around the bed to prevent scratches on the angular paneling. Also, make sure the floor is level to keep the bed stable. Enjoy your comfortable and stylish new bed!
