Know before you buy
If you choose the standard configuration, a box spring is recommended. However, if you opt for the low footboard or underbed storage drawers, the bed is converted into a platform style that supports your mattress directly without a box spring.
The bed arrives in pieces and requires assembly by attaching the side rails to the headboard and footboard using the provided screws. Beds without storage typically ship in eight pieces, while those with storage arrive in two main sections.
Yes, this bed is highly customizable. You can select from a wide range of American hardwoods, including Oak, Cherry, Walnut, and various rustic options, along with a variety of stain colors to suit your specific bedroom decor.
The standard footboard stands at 35 inches tall, maintaining the traditional, dramatic silhouette of a classic sleigh bed. The optional low footboard is 18.5 inches tall, which provides a more open, modern look and makes it easier to change your bedding.
The bed is built for longevity using traditional Amish techniques, including durable dovetail slat construction. It is further reinforced with steel brackets to ensure the frame remains stable and secure over years of use.
The underbed storage drawers are specifically designed as part of the platform bed configuration. If you require storage, you should select that option during customization to ensure the bed frame is built to accommodate the drawers properly.
