Using your Christopher Knight Home® Okioki Mid Century Queen Bed is a breeze. Since it doesn't need a box spring, you can directly place your mattress on the sturdy wood foundation. Make sure your mattress is compatible with the bed, and most types will work just fine. When it comes to weight, keep in mind that the bed can support up to 600 lbs. For maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to dust the bed frame regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the beautiful natural finish. If there are any spills, wipe them up immediately. Also, be careful when moving the bed to prevent scratches on the wood. With proper care, this bed will last you a long time and keep looking great in your bedroom.
