Using your Distrikt Queen Platform Bed is easy. First, assemble it following the included instructions. Once assembled, place your mattress on the platform. You can use the integrated nightstands to keep your essentials like books, glasses, or a lamp. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the oak and steel parts. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the matte finish. If you need to move the bed, make sure to disassemble it as it's a knock - down (KD) piece. Check the hardware regularly to ensure it's tight and secure, especially the bolts and screws. This will help keep your bed stable and in good condition for years to come.
