Using your Flynn Mid Century Modern Walnut Queen Panel Bed is easy. First, make sure you have a box spring as it's required for proper support. Once you've assembled the bed (which comes with instructions), place your mattress on top. When it comes to maintenance, simply dust the bed regularly with a soft cloth to keep its walnut finish looking great. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the Mahogany solids and Okoume veneer. If there are any spills, wipe them up immediately. Also, be careful when moving items around the bed to prevent scratches. With proper care, your bed will last for a long time.
