Using this photo frame is super easy. First, decide whether you want to display your photo horizontally or vertically. Then, simply insert your 4x6 photo into the frame. You can place it on a tabletop using the included easel prop stand. As for maintenance, just wipe it with a damp cloth to keep it clean. Remember to handle it gently as it's made of bone and MDF. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or high humidity to ensure its longevity.
