Using your Colby Queen bed frame is a breeze. Simply place your mattress on the supportive slats provided. You don't need a box spring, so you can save some space. When it comes to maintenance, use a vacuum or a light brush to clean the 100% top - grain leather headboard, as indicated by the cleaning code X. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the leather or the wood finish. The bed frame has a weight capacity of 600 lbs, so make sure not to overload it. If you move the bed, be careful with the solid oak legs as they are a key part of the bed's structure. Also, since it doesn't have storage, don't try to force items under it that could cause damage to the frame. With proper care, your Colby bed frame will serve you well for years to come.
