Using your Belham platform bed is a breeze. First, assemble the bed following the included instructions. Since it's a platform bed, you don't need a box - spring. Just place your mattress directly on the frame. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to dust the bed regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they may damage the dark walnut finish. If there are any spills, wipe them up immediately. Over time, you can check the wooden slats to make sure they are still in good condition and properly attached. If you need to move the bed, disassemble it first to prevent any damage. And that's all you need to know to keep your bed looking great and lasting a long time!
