Curly Maple: headboard & footboard

My newest four poster bed design is inspired by the architectural and furniture designs of Charles and Henry Greene who were among the leaders of the Arts and Crafts movement of the early 20th century. This design is particular well suited for highlighting unique boards by framing them with contrasting woods in the headboard and footboard.

When you order your bed we'll ask for the thickness of your mattress and boxspring so we can adjust the height of the headboard accordingly. Sturdy angle iron brackets support your boxspring and mattress and knock down mortise and tenon joinery permits complete disassembly for UPS shipping. If you'll be using this with just a mattress or futon we can build the bed with a hardwood slat platform which provides excellent support while still allowing your mattress to breath. All king size beds include a fifth leg in the center for added support for split boxspings or slats. For more information on bed construction see my bed construction details page.
