Know before you buy
No, the McKenzie is a platform bed designed to support your mattress directly on its frame. You do not need a box spring, which helps keep the overall profile of the bed lower.
The bed is crafted from solid American Alder hardwoods combined with Alder veneered wood panels. This combination provides the structural integrity of solid wood while ensuring a consistent, high-quality finish.
The drawers feature full-extension metal ball-bearing slides, allowing them to open smoothly and provide complete access to the contents. They are built with English dovetail joinery for added durability during daily use.
Yes, the bed includes adjustable glides on the base. These allow you to fine-tune the height of each corner to ensure the frame remains stable and level on uneven flooring.
The bed arrives unassembled and requires a standard setup process. Because of the integrated bookcase headboard and storage components, we recommend having two people assist with assembly to ensure all parts are properly aligned and secured.
Yes, the integrated bookcase headboard is designed to accommodate standard book sizes and bedside essentials. It provides convenient, reachable storage that eliminates the need for a separate nightstand if space is limited.
