Using your new Malay Bed is a breeze. First, assemble it. You don't need any tools - just follow the simple steps and use the four removable wood cross bars to adjust the height as you like. Place your box spring or bunkie board on it (remember, slats aren't included). When it comes to maintenance, keep the natural abaca rope clean by gently dusting it regularly. Avoid getting it wet for long periods as it might damage the rope. For the solid mahogany wood legs, you can use a mild wood cleaner to keep them looking great. Also, be aware of the weight limit of 700 Lbs. Don't overload the bed to prevent any damage. Since this item is non-returnable because it's oversized, inspect it carefully upon arrival. If you notice any damages or defects, contact us right away and we'll send you a replacement.
