Using this headboard is easy. First, connect it to your standard bed frame. You can lean against it comfortably while reading or watching TV in bed. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft cloth to gently wipe the linen upholstery regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the fabric. If there are any stains, spot - clean them with a mild detergent. Keep the headboard away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. And that's it! With proper care, your headboard will look great for a long time.
