Vermont Furniture Designs Contemporary Craftsman Bed

No, this is a platform bed designed to support your mattress directly. It utilizes sturdy poplar slats, so you can place your mattress right on the frame.

The oil and wax finish is designed to be durable and easy to maintain. You can simply dust the frame with a soft, dry cloth and occasionally apply a high-quality furniture wax or oil specifically formulated for wood to keep the finish looking fresh.

The bed offers 12.5 inches of clearance from the floor to the bottom of the side rails. This provides a decent amount of space for low-profile storage bins if you need to utilize the area under the bed.

Assembly is required, but the bed is designed with straightforward construction in mind. Because it uses traditional mortise and tenon joinery, the pieces fit together securely, though you should plan for two people to assist with the setup.

The wood species significantly changes the bed's character. Cherry will darken and deepen in color over time with exposure to light, maple offers a lighter, consistent grain, and walnut provides a rich, dark, and sophisticated aesthetic.
