The McKenzie Grand Rail Bed is designed as a platform-style frame. While you can use a box spring if you prefer extra height, it is engineered to support a mattress directly on its support system.

The frame utilizes traditional mortise and tenon joinery and English dovetail drawer construction. These methods are chosen for their superior structural integrity and ability to withstand daily use over many years.
Yes, the bed is equipped with adjustable glides. These allow you to level the frame on slightly uneven surfaces to ensure the bed remains stable and the drawers operate correctly.
The bed includes tipping restraints to secure the unit and prevent accidental tipping. Additionally, all case pieces are designed with dust bottoms to keep the interior contents clean and protected.
