Usage Guidelines
- This bed frame is designed for use with a mattress directly on the provided slats. A box spring is not required.

- Periodically inspect the frame for any loose connections or signs of wear.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the wood surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish.
- Dusting: Regularly dust the frame with a dry, soft cloth.
- Fasteners: Check all bolts and screws every 3-6 months and re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability.
- Avoid Moisture: Protect the bed frame from excessive moisture and direct sunlight to prevent warping or fading.
