Know before you buy
Yes, the Middleton Rice Bed is designed to be used with a box spring. It includes two wooden supports for the frame to ensure proper foundation for your mattress.
Yes, the bed features removable posts, allowing you to adjust the aesthetic or accommodate lower ceiling heights if necessary.
The US King version measures 85 inches wide, 87 inches deep, and 90 inches high. Please ensure your bedroom can accommodate the 90-inch height of the posts before purchasing.
The bed is crafted from high-quality mahogany and khaya wood with mahogany veneers. It also features decorative brass rosettes and accents to complement the traditional design.
The bed is finished in a rich mahogany swirl, which highlights the natural grain of the wood. Because it is crafted from natural materials, you can expect slight variations in the wood grain that add to the character of the piece.
Given the headboard height of over 90 inches, you will need significant vertical clearance during assembly. We recommend measuring your ceiling height and ensuring there is enough room to maneuver the posts into place.
