Know before you buy
No, the Bunker Hill Slat Bed is designed with solid wood side rails that bolt directly to the headboard and footboard, eliminating the need for a metal frame. It includes a secure mattress slat system, though you will still need a box spring or foundation to support your mattress.
Because of the robust 3 1/4" posts and the overall frame construction, you should add approximately 8 inches to the standard width of your mattress size to determine the total footprint of the bed.
Each wood species offers a different aesthetic and grain pattern. Oak and 1/4 Sawn Oak are known for their prominent, distinct grain and high durability, while Maple provides a smoother, more uniform look, and Cherry is prized for its rich color that deepens and warms over time.
The bed uses a bolted side rail system, which is straightforward to assemble but requires two people due to the weight and size of the solid wood components. We recommend having a socket wrench or appropriate hand tools on hand to ensure the bolts are tightened securely.
The slats are engineered with tongue and groove or dowel construction. This ensures they lock firmly into the side rails, preventing them from shifting or sliding during use.
