Using this playhouse twin size low loft bed is a breeze. First, make sure you have all the parts from the package. Follow the clear step - by - step instructions to assemble the bed. Once it's assembled, you can place your child's favorite twin - size mattress on the wooden slats. Your child can then use the step ladder to climb up to the loft. The safety railing around the loft will keep your child safe while they sleep or play. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the connections of the bed frame to ensure they are tight. Wipe the bed with a soft, dry cloth to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the wood finish. Remember, box spring is not needed, and the mattresses are not included, so you'll need to get your own twin - size mattress. This bed is designed with children's safety in mind, but always supervise your child when they are using the bed.
