Know before you buy
No, this is a platform bed designed to support your mattress directly on the solid poplar slats. You do not need a box spring, which helps maintain a lower profile for the bed.
The bed utilizes a steel quick-latch system. This hardware ensures a secure, tight connection while allowing for easier assembly and disassembly if you need to move the bed.
The distance from the floor to the bottom of the side rails and the footboard is 12.5 inches. This provides ample space for under-bed storage bins if needed.
The oil finish is designed to be low-maintenance and highlights the natural grain of the wood. You can keep it looking its best by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and occasionally applying a high-quality furniture oil or wax specifically formulated for natural wood finishes.
A center support beam is included with the Queen, King, and California King sizes to ensure the mattress remains level and properly supported across the entire frame.
Mortise and tenon is a traditional, high-strength woodworking technique that creates a very stable frame. By interlocking the wood pieces rather than relying solely on screws or glue, this construction method ensures the bed remains sturdy and wobble-free for years.
