Using this bed is easy. Just place it in your desired spot in the bedroom and add your mattress. Make sure the area is flat to avoid any wobbling. When it comes to cleaning, you can use a dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can damage the matte black finish. If there are any stains, a mild soap solution can be used, but be sure to dry the bed thoroughly afterwards. For long - term maintenance, check the joints periodically to ensure they are tight. Store the bed in a dry place if you need to move or store it for a while to prevent rusting.
