Vermont Furniture Designs Modern Craftsman Bed

No, this is a platform bed designed to support your mattress directly. You can place your mattress straight onto the frame, which eliminates the need for a box spring.

The bed provides 12.5 inches of clearance from the floor to the bottom of the frame, offering ample room to slide low-profile storage bins underneath.

The hand-rubbed oil and wax finish is designed to be easily maintained. You can simply wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth for regular cleaning, and occasionally apply a natural furniture wax if you notice the wood looking dry over time.

The bed requires assembly, but it utilizes traditional mortise and tenon joinery, which is designed for straightforward, secure connection. While it is a two-person job due to the weight of the solid hardwood, the process is intuitive and standard for high-quality platform beds.

The lattice headboard is primarily aesthetic, but it is sturdy and provides a solid, flat surface. If you like to read in bed, you may want to use a pillow for extra cushioning against the wood slats.

All three hardwoods are excellent choices for furniture. Maple is the hardest and most resistant to dents, while Cherry and Walnut are slightly softer but highly durable and prized for how beautifully they age and develop a rich patina over time.
