Using your Rado Bed is easy. First, assemble it following the included instructions. Make sure all the slats are properly placed and the center support leg is secure. Then, place your recommended 11 - inch thick mattress on top. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the walnut veneer and the volcanic slate headboard. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the finish. For weight, don't exceed the capacity of the bed size you have. For example, if you have a queen - size bed, don't put more than 530 lbs on it. If you need to move the bed, disassemble it first to avoid any damage. Regularly check the slats and the support leg for any signs of wear and tear. That's it! Enjoy your luxurious and comfortable bed.
