Using your Flynn Retro bed is easy. First, assemble the bed following the included instructions. Then, place a box spring on the wooden slat base. Next, put your low - profile mattress on top of the box spring. You can choose between the Acorn or White finish to match your room decor. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the bed regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the Mahogany Solids and Okoume Veneer. If there are any spills, clean them up immediately. Be careful when moving the bed to prevent scratches on the floor or damage to the tapered legs. Enjoy a comfortable and stylish sleep on your new mid - century modern bed.
