Know before you buy
No, the Vermont Shaker Moon Bed is designed as a complete platform system. It features eight solid poplar slats and a center support beam that provide sufficient foundation for your mattress without the need for a box spring.
The bed utilizes traditional mortise and tenon joinery, which is a hallmark of high-quality woodworking. It is further reinforced with a steel quick-latch system to ensure the frame remains sturdy and squeak-free over time.
The hand-rubbed oil finish penetrates the cherry wood to protect it while maintaining a natural, matte appearance. Unlike thick lacquers, this finish allows the wood to breathe and is easy to maintain or touch up if the surface becomes scratched.
Yes, natural cherry wood is photosensitive and will darken and develop a rich, warm patina as it is exposed to light. This is a natural characteristic of the wood and is considered a sign of its authenticity and quality.
The slats are spaced 2.25 inches apart. This spacing is specifically engineered to provide consistent support for most modern mattress types, including memory foam and hybrid models, while ensuring proper airflow.
