Augusta King Poster Bed, Low Posts, Cream Tufted Headboard

In short, king poster bed: the Augusta measures 76.4 in W x 83.7 in L x 51.2 in H outside and takes a US King (76 x 80 in) mattress. Box spring: not needed, slats included (the maker says no box spring is needed). Weight capacity: 800 lb (maker's figure). Clearance under the bed: 6.3 in.

A black king bed in a French country style: turned corner posts topped with finials, a cream diamond-tufted headboard and a low paneled footboard.

The maker gives the outside size as 83.7 in long, 76.4 in wide and 51.2 in tall to the top of the posts. The frame is barely wider than a standard 76 x 80 in king mattress, which suits a room where every inch counts. Our king size bed dimensions guide shows the room sizes that work.

What you get

• Headboard with a padded panel in cream fabric, diamond-tufted with buttons, 24.76 inches tall on the maker's drawing
• Four turned posts with round finials, two at the head and two lower ones at the foot
• Footboard with two recessed panels in the same black finish
• Metal frame with wooden slats, hook-and-loop strips under the slats and cushioning strips between wood and metal against squeaks
• Center support legs and 6.3 inches of open floor under the frame (maker's drawing)
• Weight capacity of 800 lb (maker's figure)

Mattress, pillows and bedding are not included.

Specifications

Good to know: the maker says no box spring is needed, so the mattress goes on the slats. It does not publish a recommended mattress thickness, the number of slats or the gap between them. The headboard panel starts 10 inches above the slats, so a mattress of 10 inches or less keeps all of the tufting in view. Our box spring guide lists the slat limits that mattress makers publish.

Questions about this bed

Is this a four poster bed?

It is a low post bed: the four corner posts stop at the headboard and footboard, with no canopy rails on top. For tall posts, see our king canopy beds.

Will a robot vacuum fit under it?

The maker's drawing shows 6.3 inches of open floor under the frame. Many robot vacuums are under 4 inches tall, so most of them fit.

How much room does it need?

76.4 by 83.7 inches, before any walkway. In a 12 foot (144 in) wide room, that leaves about 34 inches on each side of the bed.

How is it delivered?

In a single box of 78.5 x 14.8 x 8.1 inches, about 92 lb, by parcel carrier to your door. Plan on two people to carry it in.
