Using this bunk bed is easy. First, assemble it following the step-by-step instructions provided. You can use the two full-size beds together or separately as per your need. The twin trundle can be pulled out for sleepovers. When using the top bunk, make sure to always use the full-length railing for safety. For maintenance, keep the bed clean by dusting regularly. Wipe it with a damp cloth if needed. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the wood. Since the bed is made of high - quality wood, it should last a long time if properly cared for. Remember, no box spring is needed, and mattresses are not included, so you'll need to purchase them separately.
