Whittier Wood McKenzie Bookcase Bed

No, the McKenzie Classic Bookcase Bed is designed as a platform bed, meaning it provides a solid foundation for your mattress without the need for a box spring.

The six drawers are integrated into the base and pull out directly from the sides. You will need enough clearance on either side of the bed to fully extend the drawers, which typically requires about 20 to 24 inches of open floor space.

Assembly is required and involves several steps, including building the headboard shelving and the drawer units. While it is manageable for those comfortable with basic tools, we recommend having two people assist with the setup due to the size and weight of the components.

The bookcase headboard is designed to hold standard books, alarm clocks, and bedside essentials. While specific shelf heights vary, the overall headboard height is 55.75 inches, providing ample vertical space for multiple levels of storage.

This bed is specifically engineered as a storage platform unit with fixed under-bed drawers. It is generally not compatible with adjustable bases, as the internal storage structure interferes with the mechanical components of an adjustable frame.

The McKenzie Classic is crafted from high-quality wood, ensuring a durable and sturdy frame. It is available in three distinct finishes—Glazed Antique Cherry, Java, and Pecan—to suit different bedroom aesthetics.
