Using your Nova Domus Fantasia Queen Bed Set is easy. First, assemble the bed following the instructions provided. Then, place your 8 - 12 inches thick mattress on the slats. You can put your nightstand beside the bed and start using its drawer to store small items. When it comes to maintenance, regularly dust the bed frame and nightstand with a soft cloth. For the upholstery, vacuum it gently to remove dust. Avoid placing heavy objects on the nightstand beyond its weight capacity of 110 lbs for the table - top and 55 lbs for the drawer. Keep the bed away from direct sunlight to prevent the walnut finish from fading. If there are any spills on the upholstery, clean them up immediately with a mild detergent and water.
