Using your Caldwell Queen Bed is straightforward. First, assemble it following the included instructions with the provided hardware kit. Once assembled, you can place your mattress on it and start using it right away. Make sure not to exceed the weight capacity of 700 pounds to ensure its long - term durability. For maintenance, gently wipe the bed with a water - dampened white cotton cloth and then dry it with a clean, dry cloth. If there are any spills, clean them immediately with a soft, slightly damp cloth. This will help keep the deep - brown finish looking great and maintain the overall quality of the bed.
