Know before you buy
No, a box spring is not required. The bed features a built-in wooden slat system designed to support your mattress directly.
The headboard offers five distinct height settings, allowing you to customize the look and accommodate different mattress thicknesses. You can select the height that best suits your bedroom layout during the assembly process.
The polyester blend fabric is durable and resilient. For regular care, we recommend light vacuuming with an upholstery attachment to remove dust and spot cleaning with a mild, water-free solvent if a spill occurs.
Yes, the frame features a consistent ash walnut brown finish that provides a warm, modern transitional aesthetic. Because it is a wood finish, you can expect a natural look that complements various bedroom styles.
Assembly is required and involves connecting the frame components and attaching the headboard. We recommend having two people assist with the setup to ensure the frame is properly aligned and the slats are securely positioned.
