Bed Construction Details

joinery_detail_labeled.jpg - 40319 Bytes All my beds feature knock down mortise and tenon joinery which combines the exceptional strength of a mortise and tenon joint with the convenience of easy disassembly for shipping and moving.

Closely spaced maple slats provide strong support for your mattress and are kept in place with notched ledger strips. In addition the slats in king size beds have a center support beam with a 5th leg in the middle of the bed.

Beds intended for a boxspring and mattress have strong angle iron brackets, instead of slats, set flush with the bottom of the bed rails. King size beds also have a cross slat and 5th leg in the middle of the bed to support the double box springs.
