Platform Beds


Platform Beds

Never underestimate the potential of great design. Platform beds are completely stunning examples of the emotional response great design can generate. The smooth low profile look lends a distinct stylishness, sophistication through simplicity. An appealing bedroom setting that is elegant will be a bonus for the outcome when a sleek platform bed is the centerpiece of that bedroom. The low profile look of typical contemporary platform beds also creates an illusion of a bigger room for the seemingly small bedroom.

Platform beds are not the only highly desirable bed option for those looking for that low contemporary look. The sophisticated look of a typical platform bed disguises a highly desirable feature though, which is the lack of the need for a box spring. That’s right. They don’t need box springs. There is a new factor driving a desire for less when it comes to home décor: home owners whose plan to trade up for a more expensive mattress sets are on hold because of the slumping economy, as of late. However, when buying a platform bed, the customer only needs a mattress and not the box spring, thus saving money.

Bunk Beds


Bunk Beds

It’s hard to beat classic bunk beds. Bunk beds solve the problem when the room is too small to accommodate 2 beds. If you decide to separate our bunk beds any time in the future, you can, because they turn into 2 twin beds. Our bunk beds are made with safety in mind because they all meet or exceed all Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) and all American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) safety guidelines. These bunk beds are beautifully crafted out of birch solids. The bedrails from bunk beds are constructed out of veneered plywood and not MDF or solids in order to avoid splitting and warping. The beds don’t require box springs because every bunk bed, top and bottom bed, feature a slat-roll with canvas stretchers that eliminate the need for a box spring. The only predicament with our bunk beds will be deciding who will sleep on the top bunk.

How is the quality of these bunk beds? Here are some quality features in greater detail:

Support Brackets

The bottom bed as well as the top bed from the bunk beds feature metal bracket supports on ends so the barrel bolts rest on metal and not wood thus reliving some of the pressure on the wood.



Barrel Bolts

Shown here are the actual barrel bolts about to be inserted into the bracket supports.




Slat Roll

Both beds of the bunk beds have a slat roll with canvas stretchers and 2 screws per slat. By having a slat roll the box spring is not needed. The slat roll acts as the actual box spring.
