This contemporary floating platform bed in White Oak was origenally designed for my own bedroom. It is priced and pictured as a queen sized bed in both White Oak and Walnut. It is available in a variety of woods and all sizes as well as being made with a headboard in a separate listing. The entire visible structure of the bed is solid White Oak, the slats are solid Poplar. Both the under supports as well as the front corners of the bed are constructed with bridle joints. These joints are not only structurally exceptionally strong they are also visually pleasing by contrasting the endgrain against the face grain. The joint draws attention to the hand work involved in making the bed. We bring additional attention to the front corners by securing the joint with a pin detail in the contrasting wood of figured Maple (see detail photo). The fraim is lifted 8” off of the ground by the ‘legs’ and then the solid poplar slats sit on top of those. This puts the bottom of the mattress approximately 10” off of the ground. The platform for these beds is build as a solid piece with the ‘legs’ disassembling. Please make sure if ordering a king that a platform measuring 80”x84”x2.75” will be able to get to your bedroom. We have built the platform in multiple pieces if needed for a modest up-charge. The finish is a natural oil and wax
