Know before you buy
You can choose from a variety of sustainably harvested hardwoods, typically including options like Oak, Cherry, Maple, and Walnut. Each species offers unique grain patterns and color variations that respond differently to stains.
The bed comes standard with dovetailed slats designed to support a mattress directly. However, if you prefer a platform bed build, that option is available to eliminate the need for a box spring entirely.
The bed is finished with a Catalyzed Conversion Varnish, which is a high-performance, professional-grade coating. It is specifically formulated to be scratch-resistant and highly durable against everyday wear and moisture.
Yes, the Amish Duchess Bed offers optional side rail or footboard drawer units. These integrated storage solutions are built with the same heirloom-quality construction as the bed frame itself.
The bed uses lag-bolted fasteners, which provide a significantly more secure connection than standard hardware. This construction method ensures the frame remains rigid and squeak-free for the life of the piece.
The headboard stands at 56 inches tall. This substantial height is designed to serve as a dramatic focal point in your bedroom while providing comfortable support for sitting up in bed.
