Using your Lene bed is easy. First, assemble it according to the instructions provided. Once assembled, place your mattress directly on the wood slats - no box spring is needed. You can adjust the headboard to one of the 5 height options for your comfort. Use the three drawers under the bed to store extra linens, clothes, or other items. For maintenance, spot clean the fabric headboard when it gets dirty. Be aware that since the bed is made of natural materials like wood, there may be variations in color, pattern, grain, and texture. This is normal and adds to the unique charm of your bed. Also, keep in mind the 30 - day limited warranty in case you encounter any issues.
