Using your Braylon storage bed is easy. First, you'll need to assemble it according to the instructions provided. Once assembled, place your mattress on the wood slats - no box spring needed! You can use the three drawers to store clothes, bedding, or other items. Keep in mind that the bed is made with engineered wood and 100% polyester fabric upholstery, so for maintenance, simply wipe it clean and spot clean the upholstery when needed. Also, be aware that it contains formaldehyde as indicated by the PROP65 warning. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the bed, as this could damage the fabric or the wood. And always make sure the weight on the bed doesn't exceed the adjustable weight limit of 121.3 pounds.
