Shaker platform bed - queen

Dear Richard,

Yesterday I received and assembled the platform bed I ordered from you. It was clear to me, as I laid out the pieces, the quality of craftsmanship that went into the making of this piece. Although simple in design, the care and precision given this piece is visually apparent. The bed, when completely assembled, has an aesthetic quality that distinguishes any fine piece of art. Although this was a purchase, I feel as though I received a gift. Thank you for making this beautiful bed.

Best regards,

P.K.
Downers Grove, IL

Built from solid cherry, maple or oak my platform bed was originally designed for use with a futon (as shown) but can be made to accept a standard mattress or mattress and boxspring set. Maple slats fit into individual notches in the ledger strips inside each side rail to provide a strong platform that will still allow your mattress or futon to breath. Beds intended for use with a boxsping and mattress set are supplied with angle iron brackets on the side and end rails. All king size platform beds also have a fifth leg in the center of the bed to provide additional support. Knock down mortise and tenon joinery is extremely strong and allows for UPS shipping and easy assembly. For more information on platform bed construction see my bed construction details page. When you order your platform bed we'll ask for the thickness of your mattress or mattress and boxspring and adjust the placement of the headboard accordingly. You can also specify how high you'd like the top of the mattress to be. My platform bed is also available without a headboard.

As with all my furniture, our platform bed comes with a lifetime guarantee to the original purchaser against defects in materials and workmanship. (Guarantee does not apply in cases of abuse, misuse or neglect nor to normal wear and tear.) In addition, if for any reason you are not fully satisfied with your platform bed you may return it within 30 days of delivery for a full refund of the purchase price. (We do not refund shipping costs and do not accept returns of customized beds. Returned beds must be in resellable condition.)
