Using this daybed is super easy. If you want to use it as a bed, just place your standard US twin mattress on the solid wood slats. And when you need a couch, it's ready to serve right away. When setting it up, make sure it's on a flat surface. As for maintenance, regularly dust the solid wood frame with a soft cloth. You can also use a wood polish occasionally to keep it looking great. Keep in mind that due to COVID - 19, there might be delays in shipping. And since it's made of solid wood, avoid placing it in areas with high humidity to prevent damage.
