Using your Modrest Charlene bed is easy. First, unpack all the parts from the 3 cartons carefully. Refer to the included instructions to assemble the bed. Since it comes with slats, you can directly place your mattress on top without a box spring. For the best fit, make sure to choose the right size (Queen or Eastern King) according to your mattress dimensions. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the grey elm veneer finish and stainless steel accents regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the finish. Keep the bed away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. If you need to move the bed, disassemble it first to avoid any damage to the parts.
