Using your Christopher Knight Home® Earhart Traditional Iron Canopy Queen Bed Frame is easy. First, find a suitable spot in your bedroom to place the bed frame. Make sure the surface is flat. Then, put your mattress directly on the frame as there's no need for a box spring. You can customize the look of your bed by adding luxurious fabrics to the four - post canopy. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft cloth to wipe the iron frame regularly to keep it clean. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might scratch the surface. If you notice any loose parts, tighten them promptly to ensure the bed remains sturdy. In case there are any fabric accessories, follow the care instructions on their labels. And remember, the canopy can help with temperature regulation, so enjoy a comfortable sleep throughout the seasons.
