Using this bed is easy. First, find a good spot in your bedroom or guest room. Unpack all the parts and follow the included instructions to assemble it. You'll have it put together in under 30 minutes with the tools provided. Once it's set up, place your mattress on the 14 wooden support slats. You don't need a box spring, so you can save some money. For stability, make sure the center support legs are firmly in place. The adjustable plastic floor glides can be adjusted to prevent any damage to your floors. When it comes to maintenance, keep the bed clean by dusting it regularly. If there are any spills, wipe them up right away. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the glossy walnut finish as it might damage the coating. And that's it! You're all set for a comfortable and stylish sleep.
