Using this Christopher Knight Home® Mid - Century Queen Bed Frame is a breeze. First, find a suitable spot in your bedroom. Then, unpack the frame and start the easy setup process. Since it doesn't require a box spring, you can directly place your mattress on it. Make sure to distribute the weight evenly when placing the mattress to keep the frame stable. As for maintenance, regularly dust the frame with a soft cloth to keep its natural finish looking great. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the wood. If there are any spills, wipe them up immediately. Also, don't overload the bed with more than 600 lbs of weight to ensure the frame's long - term durability.
