CHERRY SIMPLE BED | Platform Bed Frame | Curved Headboard | Solid Cherry Hardwoods | Slats Optional

Seller's description

SIMPLE CURVE
This classic bed design in cherry hardwoods features a curved headboard with an elegant simplicity. The wide rails and sturdy legs make it very strong. The bed pieces are finely sanded and the edges are rounded over to make them feel nice and smooth.

CUSTOM NOTE: The bed is being made just for you, and hopefully you will have it for a very long time, so why not take the time to think through its measurements? Once we know your mattress thickness, we will reach out to verify the specs for your bed and may offer some suggestions to make it work better for you. Looking at our listing pics, you may see that some appear to have more or less space beneath the bed and/or a larger or smaller gap on the headboard - these tweaks are possible if they make the bed work better for your needs. Ideally we want the sit height (top of mattress to the floor) to be comfortable for the bed's occupants, for the space beneath to be 5" - 13" (where the tapered legs look good,) and for the top of the mattress to overlap the bottom 1" - 3" of the headboard - with some consideration for future mattresses being a different thickness. I (Megan) do bed math in my sleep, so please just ask if you would like some help. I also take phone appointments if it's easier for you: https://calendly.com/mtnmule/30-minute-meeting

CHERRY HARDWOODS
The color you see is not a stain, but the actual color of this natural hardwood. This beautiful warm reddish toned hardwood becomes a richer, darker red with age and exposure to light. Sometimes we see light sapwood, sometimes our cherry is a little bit curly, and sometimes we see small flecks of bark embedded in the wood. 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 wood samples here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/240464818/american-hardwood-samples-choice-of

OUR BEDS
Our bed frames are handcrafted from furniture-grade kiln-dried solid American hardwoods. Thoughtfully designed and constructed to last for generations, our beds are finished simply with a hand-rubbed coat of linseed oil to reveal the natural beauty of the wood. 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.

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:
Queen & King: 9 slats, 3.125" apart
Cal King: 10 slats, 2.9" apart
Center support & leg are included on all King and California King size beds, optional on the Queen.
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. *If you are getting your own slats, we will assume you want it set up for the standard amount of slats (9 for Q + K, 10 for CK) unless you tell us otherwise.*

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.

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.

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.
