WHITE OAK PLATFORM | Platform Bed Frame | Solid White Oak Hardwoods | Poplar Slats

WHITE OAK PLATFORM BED
This mid-century modern platform bed (without a headboard) has a straight, square leg which is flush with the top of the rails. The clean lines play nicely with many different styles of decor, making it a timeless and versatile piece. If you prefer the bottom of the legs to be tapered on the inside edges (like our Goldi and Goldilocks beds,) just ask at checkout.

SOLID WHITE OAK
White oak is a hard and heavy, and very smooth wood with medium golden brown to olive tone and long brown flecks or rays. The color you see is not a stain, but the actual color of this natural hardwood. Because wood is a natural product, beauty marks are normal, and may include knots, knot holes, worm holes, large streaks or sections of light sapwood and/or variations in grain and color. These variations are what make each piece unique. Order wood samples or see more examples of our woods here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/240464818/american-hardwood-samples-choice-of

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.

WHITE OAK PLATFORM BED ***
White oak hardwoods
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 beneath
Legs: 2.25"W x 2.25"D x 18"H, bottoms straight; tops flush with top of rails
Standard finish: 0% VOC boiled linseed oil
Overall dimensions: T 41"W x 79.5"L | TXL 41"W x 84.5"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. We feel this bed 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
Twin XL, 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. Ask if you need modification for box springs or a bed on its own base.

ASSEMBLY
Designed for easy home assembly, this bed comes with simple set-up instructions to put the four sides together using interlocking metal bed hardware. A head-to-foot center support + leg is standard on the King and California King, optional on the queen. The slats are placed across the bed to create the platform. We recommend screwing the slats down using the included screws and a power screwdriver.

CUSTOMIZATION
This bed is available in other woods and can be made with a headboard - see our other listings. We can add a center support, set the slats closer together, or set it up for a solid surface such as a bunkie board - inquire for pricing. Other common requests are larger rails, more or less clearance under the bed, a higher or lower mattress height, etc.

AI
In our ever-changing world, we want to make clear that we are not currently using AI for any aspect of our business. Our pieces are designed, built, finished, photographed, packaged, and delivered by actual humans. We make note when we have used Photoshop to create an image. Our listings are written by a stubborn, civilized human who loves the Oxford comma. Etsy and social media may be using AI on our behalf in ways we cannot control.
