Using this bed is easy. First, make sure you have a suitable box spring and mattress as they're not included. Place the bed in your desired spot in the bedroom. The metal frame gives it a sturdy base. You can lean back on the plush upholstered headboard while reading or relaxing. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to clean the metal frame regularly to keep its shiny finish. For the upholstered headboard, vacuum it gently to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals on either the metal or the fabric. If there are any spills on the headboard, blot them immediately with a clean cloth. This will help keep your bed looking great for years.
