Using your Modrest Manchester Queen Bed is a breeze. Since the bed slats are included, you don't need to worry about getting a box spring. Just assemble the parts as per the instructions, and you're ready to place your mattress on the platform. When it comes to the drawers, you can use them to store extra bedding, pillows, or any other items you want to keep close at hand. Be mindful of the weight capacity of 800 lbs. Don't overload the bed to ensure its long - term durability. For maintenance, simply wipe the dark grey acacia wood surface with a soft, dry cloth regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the finish. If there are any spills on the brass handles, clean them gently with a mild soap and water solution and dry thoroughly to maintain their shine.
