How deep is the headboard shelf?

5.5 inches — genuinely usable, unlike the token 2" ledges on most beds. It holds a stack of books, a lamp, your phone, and a glass without crowding, which is why many owners skip a headboard-side nightstand.

Will it squeak?

It is built against it: FAS-grade solid walnut with wood-on-wood corner joints keeps metal out of the friction zone. Snug the corners with the included ratchet at setup and it stays silent — no recurring tightening.

Do I need a box spring?

No — slats at 2.8" spacing support foam, latex, and hybrid mattresses directly. The 8" underbed clearance stays open for storage instead of a box spring.

How much weight does it hold?

The Queen is rated to 900 lb and the King to 1,100 lb — two adults with a wide margin. The headboard's back panel is reinforced to take sitting-up loads without flex.

How long does assembly take?

About 30 minutes with the included ratchet tool. It arrives in flat cartons; a second pair of hands makes the headboard step easier.

Confidence, Crafted In Every Piece
