Using this bed is easy. First, you'll need to assemble it as it comes in parts. Once assembled, place your mattress directly on the slat kit - no box spring needed. You can use the four drawers to store clothes, blankets, or other items. Roll them open and shut smoothly with the roller glides. To keep your bed in good condition, clean the fabric upholstery regularly with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the fabric. When moving the bed, be careful not to exceed the tested static weight of 600 lbs. Enjoy a comfortable and stylish sleep on your new Shelburne storage bed!
