Using this bunk bed is easy. First, assemble it as per the instructions since full assembly is needed. Once assembled, you can place the mattresses on the twin - size and full - size beds and the trundle. The slanted ladder makes it simple to reach the top bunk. When using, always ensure that the full - length guardrails are in place, especially for the top bunk, to prevent falls. The weight limits for each bed part (250lb for the upper and trundle, 450lb for the lower) should be strictly followed. As for maintenance, wipe the solid and manufactured wood frame with a soft, dry cloth regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals that may damage the modern gray finish. If there are any loose parts, tighten them up promptly to keep the bed in good condition.
