Using this Gramercy mid-century walnut platform bed is a breeze. First, assemble the bed according to the included instructions. Since it doesn't require a box spring, you can directly place your mattress on the 12 wooden slats. When making your bed, tuck in the sheets neatly to show off the bed's sleek design. For cleaning, simply wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may damage the walnut finish. If there are any spills, clean them up immediately. Periodically check the connections of the bed frame to ensure they remain tight. With proper care, this bed will serve you well for years to come.
