- General details

Using quality redwood throughout creates a classic look. Many companies produce beds that appear cheaper because they miss the opportunity to choose excellent wood and apply superb finishes.
Our 'Shaker' beds are handmade using mortise and tenon joints to ensure solidity. The frame's solid redwood slats, measuring 15 cm wide, firmly support the mattress. We avoid using whitewood pine in any of our beds due to its brittleness, as it comes from a quickly growing tree (and inevitably looks less appealing). Only a couple of companies still use redwood pine like us, which is a greater quality wood, and no one else in the country does.
We ensure the quality and ethical production of every aspect of our furniture from start to finish. By not shipping products thousands of miles, we can control the quality of the FSC wood, the type and quality of mattress fillers, the workmanship, the limited, reusable packaging, and the free services—deliveries, assembly, returns, and old bed/mattress removals with recycling. All delivered directly to you from our London workshop by our committed staff. Buying directly from the craftsmen always provides better value. Your bed will be skillfully handmade in our environmentally friendly London workshop, designed to be long-lasting, comfortable, and beautiful. We recycle 98% of our waste and use only water-based finishes on our FSC® certified wood. Traditional carpentry methods ensure your bed is solid, comfortable, and will stand the test of time. Our beds come in sections, allowing them to fit into all homes, so there's no need to worry about narrow hallways or stairs.
Make your bed special and infuse it with your personality by choosing from a range of headboards, leg designs, and a wide range of color options. If you don't want a headboard, select the "platform" model. Enhance the natural grain of the wood by choosing one of our wood stains. We offer a lovely selection of water-based paints to add color to your bedroom while being long-lasting, safe for you, your family, animals, and the environment. If you prefer a fabric finish, check out our curated selection of 100% natural Belgian linen, soft jean cottons, or the easy-to-clean velvet options. They are truly beautiful.

When you customize your bed, you can select from the following:
Stains
We offer many beautiful wood-enhancing stains that are completely water-based and safe for our environment, animals, and children. Our stain finishes include Black, Oak, Medium Oak, Teak, Red Mahogany, and English Oak. All of these stains have a two-part high-quality final lacquer finish applied to enhance the grain and longevity of our beds.
Paints
Our premium water-based paint is applied by top craftspeople from the industry within a controlled environment for lasting quality. The finishes are healthy for the environment, people, and pets. We don't offer painted finishes for the frame of our Original beds, but we can customize it for you at no extra cost. Just contact us for more information.
Fabrics
We hand-upholster our headboards with top-quality 100% Belgian linen, soft jean cotton, or easy-clean velvet fabrics fitted by our upholsterers using quality fillers. Available in various colors.
Unfinished
Select 'unfinished' to leave your bed sanded and 'ready to finish' so you can match the paint, fabric, or wood colors within your home.
Varnish
Select 'varnished,' and we will use clear lacquer but no staining — just a cleanable, protected, and well-finished wood presence.
- Underbed Storage
-
All of our 'Shaker' beds, apart from the low 'Deco' leg version, have the clearance height underneath the frame to accommodate our storage boxes. Designed specifically for our beds, these boxes offer the perfect place to hide away clothes, extra bed linen, shoes, bags, and toys. They are available in any of our beautiful wood-enhancing finishes, which are completely water-based and safe for our environment, animals, and children.
The chosen stain will cover the external faces of these sturdy boxes, designed to slide smoothly across a carpeted bedroom floor. For wooden floors, simply add sticky felt protectors (as with all other furniture) to protect the floor. We supply and apply the felt for free on delivery, you will need to maintain or replace it as required in the future.
The underbed storage boxes are meticulously crafted in our environmentally friendly London workshop (in which 98% of our waste is recycled), using traditional skills and techniques by the expert hands of our carpenters.
Dimensions- Length: 94 cm
- Height: 28 cm or 20 cm (when placing an order for a frame, the right storage drawer options will be offered as a final selection in the ordering process)
- Depth: 52 cm
Given the dimensions above, this allows for up to two storage boxes under a single frame and four (two on either side) under a 4-foot small double bed or larger.
