General Assembly Steps:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, soft surface (like a carpet) to prevent scratches. Identify each component using the parts list in your manual.
- Attach Headboard and Footboard: Connect the side rails to the headboard and footboard using the provided hardware. Ensure all connections are snug but do not overtighten until all major components are aligned.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your bed frame, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the wood surfaces with a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
