Millwest Wilmington Bed

The headboard stands at 68 inches, which is quite commanding. While it creates a beautiful focal point, we recommend measuring your ceiling height and wall space to ensure it doesn't crowd the room, especially if you have standard 8-foot ceilings.

Yes, this bed is designed as a traditional panel bed and requires a box spring or foundation to support your mattress properly. The dovetail slats provide the base, but you will need that extra layer for the correct height and support.

This system uses heavy-duty bolts that screw into lag inserts, creating a much tighter, more secure connection than standard hook-on rails. It requires a bit more effort to assemble initially, but it significantly reduces the risk of the bed squeaking or wobbling over time.

Because wood is a natural material, grain patterns and stain absorption can vary. We highly recommend ordering wood finish samples before committing to a final stain to see how the color interacts with your specific lighting and existing decor.

At 58 inches, the footboard is quite tall and will be visible above most standard mattresses. If you prefer a clean, unobstructed look for your bedding, keep in mind that your comforter or duvet will need to be tucked in or draped neatly to accommodate the footboard's height.
