Simple, elegant, timeless design for your trendy bedroom. This canopy bed truly provides just the right amount of depth and awe without stealing the entire appeal of the room. Made from locally harvested and milled-to-perfection Poplar wood that has stunning tone and finish as is, but is also known for its ability to take paint or stain. Stands 75” tall and fits a standard full mattress perfectly (75x54). This setup can be used with or without a box spring(we recommend a thicker, firmer style mattress if used without a box spring). Our bed's assembly process takes advantage of the pocket hole assembly method and involves driving screws directly into solid wood during assembly. With almost 30,000 beds sold over the past 6 years the pocket hole assembly method has been a tried and true assembling technique for our beds. Tools required are a power driver/drill and a #2 square drive bit (6” long version) which is included. Assembly is fairly easy, especially with 2 people. Comes with instructions. Wood Type: Poplar- Furniture grade and knot-free. Considered a hardwood and has more of a lighter tan look, with some color variance that can get a little darker brown toned and could consist of small knots. At times you may receive wood that has a green tint to it. This is because we mill it down and expose wood that hasn't seen much light or air yet. Over the course of a few days or weeks (depending on the lighting and air movement through the room) the green will fade out to light tans and browns. Your purchase now plants trees! We have teamed up with an organization called One Tree Planted to plant one tree for every bed sold!
