Using your Quinnton platform bed is a breeze. Just place your mattress on top and you're ready to enjoy a good night's sleep. Since it doesn't have a canopy shade or glass, there's no need to worry about those elements. However, be aware of the Prop 65 warning due to wood dust, which may cause cancer. Keep the area around the bed well - ventilated to reduce the risk. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to dust the bed regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the clear coat satin finish. This will help keep your teak bed looking beautiful for years to come.
