Using your Flint platform bed is easy. First, assemble it as per the instructions included. Make sure all parts are properly tightened. Then, place your mattress on the wood slats - no box spring needed. For the best look and comfort, choose a mattress with a recommended thickness of 10 inches. When it comes to maintenance, just wipe the bed clean regularly to keep it looking great. Be careful not to place sharp or heavy objects directly on the bed to avoid scratches or damage. Since it contains formaldehyde as per PROP65, ensure good ventilation in the room. And that's it - enjoy your stylish and comfortable Flint platform bed!
