Using your new twin over twin bunk bed is easy. First, follow the step - by - step instructions that come with the package to assemble it. Place it in a suitable spot in your child's room, considering which end you want to attach the ladder. Once assembled, you can put your own mattresses on the beds (remember, they're not included). When using the bunk bed, make sure kids use the ladder carefully to get to the top bunk. Always keep the area around the bunk bed clear to prevent tripping. For maintenance, wipe the steel frame with a damp cloth from time to time to keep it clean. Check the screws and connections regularly to ensure they're tight and the bed remains stable. And since it meets safety standards, you can have peace of mind, but still always supervise kids when they're on the bunk bed.
