Using the Ivory Coast Woven Bed is easy. First, make sure you have the right space as per the dimensions. Place the headboard, footboard, and side rails in position and secure them properly. You can then put your box springs on it, ensuring there's enough clearance. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to dust the bed regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the finish. If there are any spills, clean them up immediately. Keep the bed away from direct sunlight for long periods to prevent fading of the stain and glaze. With these simple steps, your bed will stay beautiful for years to come.
