Know before you buy
This bed is built using solid American Alder and high-quality alder-veneered wood panels. This combination provides the natural beauty of solid wood while ensuring long-term structural stability.
The product specifications do not explicitly state a box spring requirement. However, as a standard panel bed, it is designed to support a king-sized mattress, and you should check your specific mattress manufacturer's warranty to see if a foundation or box spring is recommended for your setup.
The bed features traditional mortise and tenon joinery, which is a hallmark of high-quality furniture craftsmanship. This method, combined with fitted backs, ensures the frame remains sturdy and resists wobbling over time.
The McKenzie King Premier Bed measures 82 3/4 inches in width, 87 3/4 inches in depth, and stands 58 inches tall. Be sure to measure your bedroom floor space to ensure you have adequate clearance around the perimeter.
No, this specific model does not include storage drawers. While the McKenzie collection is known for its drawer craftsmanship, this particular Premier Bed is a classic panel-style frame without built-in storage.
