Using this bed is easy. First, find a suitable place in your bedroom for it. Once you've unpacked all the parts, start assembling the bed following the included instructions. Since slats are provided, you can directly place your mattress on them without a box - spring. Make sure the metal legs are firmly attached. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the matte grey faux concrete finish regularly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may damage the finish. If there are any spills, clean them up promptly. Also, check the assembly parts periodically to ensure they are still tight. Keep in mind that some assembly was required during setup, so if you need to move the bed, be careful with disassembling and reassembling it.
