Using this bunk bed is easy. First, make sure to fully assemble it as it requires full assembly. Once assembled, place it in your child's room. The right - facing front ladder makes it easy for your kids to climb up to the top bed. The bottom bed can also be used comfortably. Just keep in mind that the top bed is not for children under six years old, and don't exceed the weight limits (165Lbs on the top and 200Lbs on the bottom). For maintenance, regularly check the guard - rail and ladder for any loose parts. Wipe the wood surface with a soft, dry cloth to keep it looking great. This product is for home use only, so don't use it in commercial settings.
