Using your Modrest Carmen bed is easy. First, assemble the bed following the included instructions. It might take a bit of time, but it's a simple process. Once assembled, place your mattress directly on the bed frame since there's no need for a box spring. For day - to - day use, make sure to keep the bed clean. You can dust the walnut veneer finish regularly with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the finish. If there are any spills, wipe them up immediately. When moving the bed, be careful with the solid rubberwood legs. Lift the bed properly to prevent any damage to the legs or the frame. Periodically check the connections to ensure they are tight and secure. This will help keep your bed in great condition for years to come.
