Using this bed is simple. First, follow the step - by - step instructions to assemble it. Once assembled, place your favorite mattress on the platform. Since the bed doesn't come with bedding, you can choose the sheets, pillows, and comforters that match your style. When it comes to maintenance, regularly dust the bed frame with a soft cloth to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they may damage the walnut finish. If there are any spills, wipe them up immediately. In case you need to move the bed, be careful with the tapered legs to prevent them from getting damaged. With proper care, this bed will serve you well for years.
