Using the Aurelia headboard is easy. First, assemble it according to the included instructions. You have two options for installation - you can either mount it on the wall or attach it to the bed frame. If you choose to attach it to the bed frame, you'll need an adapter (not included). Make sure to check the pre - drilled holes on the upper back to adjust the height to your preference. There are 8 different height options available. When it comes to maintenance, just wipe it clean with a cloth. Since rattan is a natural material, there may be some natural variations in color, pattern, grain, and texture. Don't be alarmed by the hair - like strands of rattan or rattan - fiber, as this is normal. Also, keep in mind that the product complies with CARB P2 and CA PROP 65 standards, and there are no fire retardants used.
