Using this bed is a breeze. First, find a suitable spot in your bedroom for it. Since it doesn't require a box spring, you can directly place your mattress on the wooden slat system. The under - the - bed drawers are great for storing extra bedding, clothes, or other items. Just slide them open and close gently. When it comes to cleaning, the plastic - lined drawers can be easily wiped down with a damp cloth to keep them dust - free. The boucle upholstery can be vacuumed regularly to maintain its softness and appearance. As for maintenance, make sure not to overload the drawers beyond their 40LBS weight capacity. Also, avoid dragging heavy objects across the bed to prevent damage to the powder - coated metal frame. If you need to move the bed, it's best to have two adults handle it carefully as it can support up to 1000LBS when in place.
