Amish Cannon Ball Bed

The wood choice primarily affects the grain pattern and hardness of the bed. For example, Oak and Hickory offer prominent, bold grain patterns and high durability, while Cherry and Brown Maple provide a smoother, more uniform finish that takes stains very consistently.

While the posts are a classic design element, they are standard height and will fit in any room with a standard eight-foot ceiling. We recommend measuring your space if you have low-hanging light fixtures or ceiling fans near the bed placement.

The Amish Cannon Ball Bed is designed to accommodate standard box springs and mattresses. If you plan to use an adjustable base, you may need to place the base inside the frame, provided the dimensions allow for the necessary clearance.

The bed arrives as a set of components, including the headboard, footboard, and side rails. Assembly requires basic tools to secure the rails to the posts, and we recommend having two people to manage the weight and alignment of the solid wood pieces.

Because wood is a natural material, it absorbs stain differently depending on the grain and density of the specific piece. While the stain will match the chosen finish, expect slight variations in tone and depth that highlight the unique character of the solid wood.
