Amish Outlet Store Berkshire Bed

Yes, the Berkshire Bed is designed to be used with a box spring. You will need to ensure you have one that fits your mattress size to provide the proper support and height.

Assembly is required upon delivery. Because this is a solid wood piece, you will need to attach the side rails to the headboard and footboard, which typically requires basic tools and a second person to help maneuver the heavy components.

All available options—Oak, Brown Maple, Cherry, Rustic Cherry, and Q.S. White Oak—are hardwoods chosen for their longevity. Oak and Q.S. White Oak are generally the hardest and most resistant to dents, while Cherry and Brown Maple offer smoother grain patterns that take stain very evenly.

Yes, the stains are designed to enhance rather than cover the wood. Lighter stains will highlight the natural variations and grain patterns most prominently, while darker stains will provide a richer, more uniform look while still allowing the texture of the solid wood to show through.

The clearance depends on the specific configuration of the side rails, but generally, these traditional frames sit low to the floor to accommodate the height of the box spring and mattress. If you have specific under-bed storage needs, it is best to measure your box spring and mattress depth against the 30-inch footboard height.
