Using this Ink + Ivy Jameson bed is a breeze. First, assemble it as per the provided instructions. It requires partial assembly, but with the included 5 slats, it's straightforward. Place it on a box spring for optimal support. When it comes to maintenance, simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth regularly to keep it looking its best. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may damage the faux leather and the caramel maple finish. If you move the bed, be careful with the rounded wooden legs to prevent scratches or breakage.
