Using your new bed frame is a breeze. First, find a flat and stable surface in your bedroom. Unpack all the parts according to the step - by - step instructions that come with the bed. Start by assembling the headboard, footboard, and rails together. Make sure all the connections are tight for maximum stability. Once assembled, place your mattress on top. Remember, the mattress and bedding are not included. As for maintenance, simply wipe the metal frame with a dry or slightly damp cloth regularly to keep it looking great. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might damage the powder - coated finish. Due to the current COVID - 19 situation, be aware that there could be delays in shipping, so plan accordingly.
