Know before you buy
The bed is designed to accommodate a mattress and foundation. If you choose to use a slat roll instead of a traditional box spring, you must include a center support rail to ensure the structural integrity of the frame.
The reversible side rails offer flexibility in the bed's aesthetic and height, allowing you to adjust the profile of the frame to better suit your mattress thickness and bedroom layout.
The bed features a rustic oak finish with deliberate chatter veneer detailing. This creates a distressed, textured look that leans into the contemporary farmhouse style rather than a perfectly smooth, uniform surface.
Assembly is required for this bed. Given the substantial 155-pound weight of the product, we recommend having two people assist with the setup to safely handle the headboard and frame components.
The footboard stands at 16 inches high. This low-profile design helps maintain an open, airy feel in the bedroom while still providing a finished look to the base of the bed.
