Know before you buy
Each bed is handcrafted from your choice of solid Cherry, Maple, or Walnut. These hardwoods are selected for their durability and grain quality, ensuring the piece remains a staple in your home for years.
No, the Glastenbury is designed as a true platform bed. It features sturdy 3/4-inch thick slats spaced 2 3/8 inches apart, which provide sufficient support for your mattress without the need for a box spring or foundation.
The frame utilizes a steel quick-latch system for the side rails, which allows for a secure connection while making assembly straightforward. The structural integrity is further reinforced by traditional mortise and tenon joinery.
The distance from the floor to the bottom of the side rail is 12.5 inches. This provides a generous amount of space for under-bed storage bins or easy cleaning access.
The finish consists of natural oils and waxes that protect the wood while highlighting its grain. You can maintain the wood's luster by occasionally applying a high-quality furniture wax or oil specifically formulated for natural wood finishes.
A center support beam is included with all sizes except for the Twin. This beam adds essential stability and prevents sagging for larger mattress sizes like Full, Queen, and King.
