Using the Abigail Twin Metal Headboard is easy. First, make sure you have all the parts included in the set. Since assembly is required, follow the instructions carefully. Start by finding a suitable spot for your twin bed in the room, like a kid's bedroom, college dorm, or guest room. Then, attach the headboard to the bed frame using the seven mounting positions according to your height preference. When it comes to maintenance, a simple wipe with a clean, dry cloth will keep it looking great. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may damage the powder - coated iron finish. Also, be careful when adjusting the height to prevent any accidental damage. This headboard is built to last, so with proper care, it will serve you well for a long time.
