Using your new headboard is easy. First, make sure you have a suitable bedframe and mattress. Place the headboard against the wall where your bed will be. Attach it securely to the bedframe following the instructions provided. When it comes to maintenance, simply dust it regularly with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they may damage the distressed black finish. If there are any spills, wipe them up immediately with a damp cloth. With proper care, your headboard will keep looking great for years to come.
