Using your Oak Park Captains Bed is simple. Just place your mattress on the bed frame, and it's ready for use. If you've chosen a bed with drawers, you can store your clothes, linens, or other items in them. When it comes to maintenance, dust the bed regularly with a soft, dry cloth to keep it looking its best. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they may damage the wood finish. If there are any spills, wipe them up immediately. Also, make sure to place the bed on a flat surface to prevent any uneven wear. This bed comes with a limited 1 - year warranty, so if you encounter any issues during this period, contact our customer service.
