Nantucket Carved White Mango Wood King Bed

In short, carved mango wood king bed: the Nantucket measures 81 in W x 89 in L x 69 in H outside (maker's figures) and takes a US King (76 x 80 in) mattress. Box spring: required, use a box spring or bunkie board. Weight capacity: 800 lb (maker's figure). Clearance under the bed: 8.5 in.

A rustic king bed in solid mango wood: a 69 inch headboard and a matching footboard are cut through with openwork floral carving, painted white and distressed so the bare wood shows through in places.

According to the maker, the bed measures 81 in wide, 89 in long and 69 in tall. The footprint stays close to the mattress, only 5 inches wider and 9 inches longer, while the headboard climbs to 5 feet 9 inches. Under an 8 foot ceiling that still leaves 27 inches above it, but check any window or wall light behind the bed. Our king size bed dimensions guide shows which rooms fit a king comfortably.

Specifications

Good to know: this frame needs a box spring. The maker supplies 8 slats and says the bed is designed to be used with a box spring of standard height, which is not included, so plan for one in your budget. Our box spring guide explains how a box spring and a bunkie board differ.

Questions about this bed

How tall is the headboard?

It rises to 69 inches, about 5 feet 9 inches, some 17 inches above the median listed height of king frames (52 in).

How much room does it need?

Plan for 81 by 89 inches. In a room 12 feet (144 in) wide, about 31.5 inches stay free beside each rail, enough for a small nightstand.

Do I need a box spring?

Yes. The maker designed this bed for a standard height box spring under a mattress of about 10 inches; the 8 slats carry the box spring, not the mattress.

What arrives at my door?

Three cartons, about 296 lb in all, by freight truck on an appointment set with the carrier, with a signature at delivery. The bed then needs full assembly, and the carved headboard is a job for two people.
