WALNUT GOLDI PLATFORM BED
This mid-century modern platform bed (without a headboard) takes its elegant tapered leg style from our popular Goldilocks bed. This bed's clean lines play nicely with many different styles of decor, making it a timeless and versatile piece.

WALNUT
Beautiful black walnut is the darkest wood we offer, and can range from a medium brown to a dark rich brown. Sometimes we see a little bit of light sapwood, sometimes darker chocolate brown streaks or even a purple hue. Because wood is a natural product, its beauty marks are normal, and may include knots, knot holes, worm holes, large streaks or sections of light or blond sapwood and/or variations in grain and color. These variations are what make each piece unique. Order our wood samples here: www.etsy.com/listing/240464818/

OUR BEDS
Our bed frames are handcrafted from solid American hardwoods. Thoughtfully designed and constructed to last for generations, our beds are finished simply with a hand-rubbed clear coat of linseed oil to reveal the natural beauty of the wood grain. When you buy our beds, you can rest assured that you're not bringing questionable wood or dangerous chemicals into your home, because our wood is solid, new, furniture-grade lumber, our glue is low-VOC and our finish is 0% VOC. Many of our customers have chemical sensitivities, and many people purchase our bed frames for use with organic mattresses. With everything we build, we think about safety, ease of use, practicality and durability of our pieces for generations of use.

SPECS ***
Platform / top of slats: 16.5" from the floor
Sit height / top of mattress = 16.5" + your mattress thickness
Depth of mattress contained inside the rails: 1.5"
Rails: 7"H with 11"H space under the rails
Leg height: 18"H
Legs: 2.25"W x 2.25"D, bottoms tapered on the inside edges; tops flush with top of rails
Finish: 0% VOC boiled linseed oil
Outer dimensions: T 41"W x 79.5"L | F 57"W x 79.5"L | Q 63"W x 84.5"L | K 79"W x 84.5"L | CK 75"W x 88.5"L

***NOTE: These bed specs are just a starting point. We often change the height measurements for our customers when it makes sense for them to have more or less space under the bed, or a higher or lower mattress sit-height. Pics 1 and 2 were built exactly per the listing specs, while pics 3, 4, and 5 were made a little lower. The angle of the taper on the leg changes as the amount of space under the bed changes, and we feel it looks best with 5"H - 13"H space under the bed.

MATTRESS SUPPORT
Our slats are untreated kiln-dried poplar hardwoods, 1.125" thick x 5.5" wide
We drill holes in the ends of our slats and include screws so you can screw them down if you wish (helps to alleviate potential noise.)
Standard slat spacing:
Twin & Full: 8 slats 3.7” apart
Queen & King: 9 slats 3.25" apart
Cal King: 10 slats 2.95" apart
Center support & leg are included on all King and California King size beds.
This bed is meant for just a mattress. Please contact us if we need to modify for box springs.

A lower priced support option, which is equally strong, is for you to purchase untreated pine 2 x 6 slats from your local hardware store. They can be purchased and cut to size for $50 - $150. Should you choose to get them locally, we will tell you exactly what you need to get when you place your order, or feel free to request that info before you buy.

ASSEMBLY
Our handmade hardwood beds are designed for easy home assembly. You will use a bit of glue, some dominoes, screws and a screwdriver, all of which are provided along with well-written instructions. Don't let that scare you, if you want to see instructions before you order, just ask. Once you have the legs attached to the head and foot rails, the bed is easily put together (and taken apart, should you move) with interlocking metal bed hardware. The slats are placed across the bed to create your platform, with a center support beam and leg running from head to foot on the King and California King.

CUSTOMIZATION
Each bed we make is different, so don't be afraid to ask us for what you want. We do make this bed with a headboard; see other listings. Common requests are a wide leg, straight leg, larger rails, more or less clearance under the bed, a higher or lower mattress height, different slat spacing, different support for box springs, mixed woods, etc.

HELP!
Please don't let all of these choices confuse you; we are very responsive to questions and will even talk to you on the phone if you prefer. :) Send us a conversation if you would like more help, we want your bed to be exactly what you need because you'll have it for a long time! We often work with customers through several conversations before we get measurements just right, then we make a custom listing so everything is easy and clear. We also make nightstands, dressers, desks, etc, and we do offer a multi-piece discount- please connect with us by email at info [!at] mountainmulehardwoods.com.

TIMELINE

SHIPPING
Packing and shipping are included in this price. We will ship your bed in one or more very well packed oversize boxes via FedEx Ground with appointment delivery (where available.) This is the best option we have to get it there safely. Or, if you're up for a road trip to Limestone, Tennessee, you can save a little money and come pick it up at our shop. We will communicate with you via Etsy before we ship to be sure you know when to expect it.

FEE DISCLAIMER
Our Etsy prices include many of the fees associated with using their platform. When the fees increase, our prices on Etsy increase. Etsy collects sales tax for most states, while Mountain Mule Hardwoods collects sales tax just for Tennessee orders. Please feel free to get in touch with us *directly* if you have questions.
