Using this Natasha canopy bed is a breeze. First, assemble the bed according to the included instructions. Once it's set up, place your mattress on the internal slats - no need for a box spring! You can add your personal touch by hanging drapes or curtains on the tall wooden beams to create a cozy and private space. When it comes to maintenance, spot clean the upholstered parts regularly to keep them looking fresh. Since the bed is made with natural raw materials like wood, expect some variations in color, pattern, grain, and texture. Don't worry, these variations are normal and add to the unique charm of your bed. And remember, if you need to move the bed, disassemble it carefully to avoid any damage.
