Using this Walker Edison bed is a breeze. First, assemble it following the included instructions, which should only take about 15 minutes. Place a standard queen-size mattress on the slats without the need for a box spring. For a great night's sleep, make sure the bed is on a flat and stable surface. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the screws and tighten them if they become loose. Wipe the solid pine wood frame with a soft, dry cloth to keep it looking great. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they could damage the caramel finish. If you move the bed, be careful with the center support legs and the center rail to prevent any damage.
