Know before you buy
Yes, the textured linen headboard pad is designed to be removable. This allows you to clean the fabric easily or change the look of the bed to showcase the underlying acacia wood.
The bed features optional lower posts on the footboard, giving you the flexibility to choose between a full-height poster look or a more open, lower-profile aesthetic at the foot of the bed.
No, this bed comes with its own set of slats, so you do not need to purchase an additional box spring. You can place your mattress directly onto the included support system.
The satin brass collars are durable and low-maintenance. Simply wipe them down occasionally with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and maintain their luster.
The Southport Poster Bed sits on square block feet. While it is a substantial piece, there is enough clearance for standard under-bed storage bins, though you should measure your specific containers against the frame height.
Yes, the bed is crafted from acacia solids and veneers finished in a uniform Medium Brown. Because it uses natural wood veneers, you may notice subtle variations in the grain pattern, which is a hallmark of high-quality wood furniture.
