Know before you buy
Yes, this bed is designed to be used with a box spring. Since it does not include support slats, you will need a box spring or a low-profile foundation to support your mattress.
You can choose between a low wood footboard, which offers a more open and streamlined look, or a tall, arched upholstered footboard that matches the headboard for a more cohesive, dramatic aesthetic.
There is 8.25 inches of clearance beneath the side rails. This provides enough room for low-profile storage bins or for a vacuum to pass underneath easily.
The headboard is covered in a heathered oatmeal polyester blend. This material is chosen for its durability and resistance to wear, though we recommend spot cleaning with a mild, water-free solvent if a spill occurs.
The elm veneer features moderate distressing and a glaze, which gives the wood a lived-in, Old World character. Because of this, you should expect natural variations in the grain and finish that make each piece unique.
The bed arrives in pieces and requires assembly. You will need to attach the headboard, footboard, and side rails; we recommend having two people assist with the process to ensure the frame is leveled correctly using the built-in leveling feet.
