Using your new Belham Queen Platform Bed is a breeze. First, find a suitable spot in your bedroom that matches your room's layout and aesthetic. Since it doesn't need a box spring, you can directly place your mattress on the frame. Make sure the mattress fits well and is centered. When it comes to assembly, follow the included instructions carefully. It may take a bit of time, but with patience, you'll have your bed set up in no time. As for maintenance, regularly dust the bed with a soft cloth to keep the dark walnut finish looking great. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the mahogany and rattan. If there are any spills, clean them up immediately to prevent stains. Also, check the wooden slats periodically to ensure they're in good condition and properly supported.
