Know before you buy
If you choose the standard model, a box spring is required. However, if you opt for the underbed storage drawers, the bed converts to a platform style, which eliminates the need for a box spring.
You can select from a variety of wood species and stain colors to match your existing bedroom furniture. These options allow you to tailor the aesthetic from a natural, light wood look to a deeper, traditional finish.
The top of the bed slats sits 10 inches from the floor. This provides a standard height for the mattress, though it does not offer open underbed storage space.
The footboard door provides convenient access to the interior of the bed frame, while the pull-out step stool is designed to assist with getting into higher mattress setups. Both are functional add-ons that enhance the utility of the frame.
Yes, the bed is crafted in Amish workshops using robust dovetail slat construction. This method is specifically chosen for its superior strength and long-term durability.
No, the frames are sized specifically for each mattress type. You should select the California King size frame if you have a California King mattress, as the dimensions differ from the standard King size.
