Using this Christopher Knight Home® Mid - Century King Bed Frame is a breeze. First, find a suitable spot in your bedroom for the bed. Since no box spring is required, you can directly place your mattress on the frame. Make sure the mattress is centered and fits well within the frame. As for maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to dust the bed frame regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the natural finish. If there are any spills, wipe them up immediately. When moving the bed frame, be careful not to scratch or damage the legs or the wood. It's built to support up to 600 lbs, but try to distribute the weight evenly to ensure long - term durability.
