Using your Macayle platform bed is easy. First, assemble it following the instructions included in the package. Once assembled, place your mattress on the wood slats - no need for a box spring! You can then add your favorite bedding and pillows to make it extra cozy. When it comes to maintenance, just wipe the bed clean regularly to keep it looking great. Since it contains formaldehyde as per PROP65, make sure to keep the room well - ventilated. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the bed as it may damage the Ash Walnut finish. Also, be careful not to put too much weight on one side of the bed to prevent any damage to the frame or legs.
