Using your Lorraine Storage Platform Bed is a breeze. First, assemble the bed according to the included instructions. Since it's a platform bed, you can simply place your mattress on top without the need for a box - spring. The two drawers on the footboard are great for storing extra bedding, clothes, or other items. Just pull the nickel - accented handles to open and close them. When it comes to maintenance, regularly dust the bed with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the pine solids and Mindy veneer. If there are any spills on the cream fabric headboard, clean them up immediately with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Remember, this bed comes in multiple sizes, so choose the one that fits your space best. And don't forget you can coordinate it with other pieces from the Alpine Furniture Lorraine collection for a cohesive bedroom look.
