Using this twin metal loft bed is easy. First, follow the step - by - step instructions to assemble it. Once assembled, place it in your desired spot in the bedroom. The bed can support up to 250 pounds, so make sure not to exceed this weight limit. You can use the space underneath the loft for storage, like putting in boxes or baskets. The full - length guardrails are there to keep you safe while sleeping, so don't remove them. To maintain the bed, clean the powder - coated steel surface with a soft cloth and mild cleaner regularly. If there are any scratches, it's best to touch them up to prevent rusting. Remember, this bed doesn't come with mattresses or bedding, so you'll need to get those separately.
