Know before you buy
No, this bed frame includes a system of wood slats designed to support your mattress directly. You can place your mattress right on top of the frame without the added bulk of a box spring.
The Abel platform bed is built to support a total weight of up to 600 pounds, including the weight of the mattress and the sleepers.
Yes, the spindle headboard design is an excellent choice for smaller spaces. Because the headboard is open and allows light to pass through, it creates an airy, less cluttered aesthetic compared to solid headboards.
The frame is crafted from a combination of durable rubberwood and engineered wood, finished in a warm walnut brown tone.
The bed arrives unassembled and requires a full setup. You will need to attach the side rails, headboard, and support slats, so we recommend having a second person available to help with the process.
The bed measures 43.3 inches in height, 66.5 inches in width, and 86.5 inches in length.
