Whittier Wood McKenzie Bookcase Storage Bed

No, the McKenzie Classic bed is designed as a platform style, so you do not need a box spring. You can place your mattress directly onto the support system.

Assembly is required, as the bed arrives in multiple components. You will need to assemble the headboard, footboard, and the underbed storage drawer units, so plan for a few hours and have a partner assist you with the heavier pieces.

This bed is crafted from solid American Alder and high-quality Alder veneers. This combination provides the durability of solid wood while ensuring a consistent, beautiful finish across the larger panels.

Yes, the drawers are equipped with full-extension ball bearing slides. This mechanism ensures they glide smoothly and fully open, allowing easy access to your stored items without catching or sticking.

The headboard shelving is designed to accommodate most standard book sizes and decorative items. It is a substantial piece, offering deep enough shelves to keep your bedside essentials organized and within reach.

The drawers utilize English dovetail joinery, which is a hallmark of high-quality furniture construction. This interlocking joint method is significantly stronger and more durable than simple glued or stapled drawer boxes, ensuring they hold up well over years of daily use.
