Know before you buy
No, this bed is designed to be used without a box spring. It features a European slat system that provides direct support for your mattress.
No, this specific listing includes the headboard, frame, and side rails, but it does not come with a footboard.
This is a pre-owned piece that has been in use for over three years. While it retains its structural integrity and classic aesthetic, you should expect the natural character and minor wear consistent with a used vintage-style iron bed.
Assembly is required for this model. The frame components are designed to be bolted together, so we recommend having a second person assist you to ensure the rails and headboard are aligned correctly.
The European slat system is versatile and works well with most modern mattress types, including memory foam, latex, and hybrid mattresses, as the slats provide consistent, firm support across the entire surface.
