Using your Heritage Hill Queen Storage Bed is a breeze. First, place the bed in your desired spot in the bedroom. You don't need a boxspring as the deck boards support the mattress directly. Just lay your mattress on top and you're ready to sleep. The two drawers on the footboard are great for storing things like extra clothes or blankets. You can easily slide them open and closed. To charge your handheld devices, simply plug them into the USB ports on the headboard posts. As for maintenance, regularly dust the bed with a soft cloth to keep its elegant look. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they may damage the Acacia solids and White Oak veneers. Check the drawers occasionally to make sure they're running smoothly. If the bed starts to feel wobbly, double - check that all the parts are properly tightened. Remember, the weight capacity of the bed is 700, so don't overload it.
