Using this beautiful bed is easy. First, since it requires assembly, make sure to follow the included instructions carefully. You don't need a box - spring, so simply place your mattress directly on the bed slats. When it comes to cleaning, because the fabric cleaning code is 'S', use a solvent - based cleaner for any stains. Avoid using water - based cleaners as they may damage the 100% polyester fabric. To keep your bed looking great, regularly dust the gold hardware and the upholstered parts. If you move the bed, be gentle to prevent any scratches on the frame. And that's it! With proper care, this bed will bring you years of peaceful sleep.
