Using your Kenney queen - size bed is easy. Just place your mattress on the bed frame. Since a box spring isn't required, you can save some space. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to dust the bed regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the poplar wood and the veneers. Keep the bed away from direct sunlight to prevent the espresso color from fading. As the product has a Prop65 warning due to formaldehyde, make sure to place it in a well - ventilated room. Also, always follow the safety instructions on the warning label provided on the product.
