Know before you buy
No, this bed is specifically engineered as a platform frame. The solid poplar slats provide a sturdy, supportive foundation for your mattress, so a box spring is not required.
The Cherry and Walnut woods are finished with linseed oil and wax, while the Maple uses a tung oil and wax finish. These natural, eco-friendly finishes highlight the wood's grain and can be easily refreshed over time with a simple application of furniture wax.
Yes. The frame is constructed using traditional mortise and tenon joinery for superior structural integrity. Additionally, all sizes larger than a twin include a center support beam to prevent sagging and ensure long-term stability.
The solid poplar slats are 3 1/2 inches wide and spaced 2 3/8 inches apart. This spacing is designed to provide optimal airflow for your mattress while maintaining consistent support across the entire surface.
The lifetime guarantee covers defects in materials and craftsmanship under normal household use. It reflects the brand's commitment to the durability of their solid wood construction and mortise and tenon joinery.
