Know before you buy
Because this bed features a robust dovetail slat system, it is designed to support a standard mattress and box spring combination. We recommend using a box spring to ensure your mattress sits at the proper height relative to the headboard.
The headboard stands at 70 inches tall. Please measure your wall space and account for any window treatments, light fixtures, or low ceilings to ensure the piece fits comfortably in your room.
Yes, the Empire Bed is engineered to be used with a box spring. The four included slats provide the necessary base for the box spring to rest on, ensuring the weight of the mattress and sleepers is distributed evenly across the frame.
To maintain structural integrity, the King size frame includes four center support legs, while the Queen size frame includes two. These legs are essential for preventing sagging and should be adjusted to touch the floor once the bed is fully assembled.
Yes, the Empire Bed is fully customizable. You can select from a variety of solid wood species and stain options to match your existing bedroom furniture and personal aesthetic.
The King size Empire Bed measures 89 3/4 inches wide by 92 1/2 inches long. We recommend leaving at least two to three feet of walking space around the sides and foot of the bed for optimal room flow.
