This bed is hand crafted in Appalachia USA from solid hardwood (cherry, oak, maple, ash, or walnut (walnut is $2000 added invoiced separately)). To see photos of wood select the section in my ETSY shop titled "wood species and colors". No veneers or compressed particle boards are used. The wood that is not normally seen (such as for slats) is a different hardwood species. Shelves will be made from birch plywood with your hardwood edge trim. Drawer box bottoms are 1/4" thick birch plywood.

The wood will be finished with tung oil with no color added. You can request a stain for $150 added. The photos show the bed made of red oak wood with cerused grey (no longer offered) finished with tung oil which is an added cost.

Click wood species to select your wood. Also click shipping upgrade to state your region of the USA.

The size of the bed shown in the photos and provided for the listing price is made for two twin XL mattresses. The platform is wider than the mattress width by about 11 inches. Most customers who purchase this bed have special dimension requirements which cause the price to change. So this listing is to present the design concept of this bed and offer to customize it to make it best for you.

The beds can be created for any mattress size you want to use.

You can request that the cabinet under the bed have shelves or a different number of drawers.

The height from the floor to the bottom of the side boards is about 55". The top of the platform is about 61" above the floor. The height of the top of the posts is 84". You can request different heights that are best for you.

The bed is very sturdy to hold two normal size adults with normal activity levels.

The bed is custom made for you. I can provide a custom arrangement of furniture under the loft.

The bed is a platform configuration for use without box springs. The bed is configured for a mattress resting on platform boards that cover the surface. A center beam runs head to foot under the platform boards.

Most furniture in high priced stores is made of pressed materials with thin veneers. Such materials are easily damaged and are difficult to repair. They also often give off unhealthy fumes.

The bed is shipped in pieces that lay flat in the box. This enables better protection of the product and lower shipping costs. The assembly based on detailed instructions is performed by the buyer. This design is also helpful for people who move because it permits more compact shipping and storage. The bed will be delivered in a large heavy crate to a location at the same level where the truck can park.

Shipping costs are not automatically calculated by your zip code. The United States shipping cost is the 48 state base cost to which a regional adder must be applied. When checking out, please click the shipping upgrade box to choose your location in one of the three regions listed to set the regional adder. A quote for shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, or Canada can be provided upon request.
