Using your Gaines Contemporary Bed is a breeze. Just assemble it as per the instructions included in the package. Since it doesn't require a box spring, you can directly place your mattress on the 39 slats. The bed can hold up to 660 lbs, so it's suitable for most mattresses. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the high - gloss finish regularly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the surface. The metal parts can be cleaned with a mild metal cleaner. If you need to move the bed, be careful with the legs and slats to prevent any damage. Keep in mind that the bed has a fully KD structure, so you can disassemble it easily if you need to move it to a new place. And don't forget to check the assembly periodically to make sure all the parts are secure.
