Flagstaff Wingback Bed Frame King, Fluted, 52 in Headboard

In short, wingback bed frame king: the Flagstaff measures 79.9 in W x 81.3 in L x 52.4 in H outside (maker's figures; drawing shows 80 in wide) and takes a US King (76 x 80 in) mattress. Box spring: unclear, the maker's listing contradicts itself (its description says no box spring is needed and the photos show a slat deck; one spec field says a box spring is required). Check with us before buying. Weight capacity: up to 1,000 lb on the slat system (maker's figure). Clearance under the bed: none (the base panels reach the floor).

A tall wingback headboard and an enclosed base, both clad in vertical fluting with a light natural wood look, for a bed that reads as one sculpted piece.

The maker gives the assembled size as 79.9 in wide, 81.3 in long and 52.4 in tall, which its drawing rounds to 80 inches across. The headboard is the tallest part by far; at the foot, the fluted base stands only 11.8 inches high, so the bed looks tall from the pillows and low from the door. Inside the base the drawing marks 76.3 by 80.5 inches, a close fit for a standard 76 x 80 inch king mattress. The base panels run down to the floor, so dust and lost socks stay out from under the bed. For the full picture of king footprints, see our king size bed dimensions guide.

Specifications

Good to know: this is not a solid wood bed. The maker lists iron and engineered wood as the materials, and the fluted look comes from the panel finish. Its listing also contradicts itself on the box spring: the description says one is not needed and the photos show a full slat deck, but a spec field says "box spring required". Until the maker confirms which is right, check with us before buying. It does not give the slat count, spacing or what the slats are made of. If your mattress warranty has rules on slat gaps, ask us before you order. Our box spring guide covers the usual limits.

Questions about this bed

How tall is the headboard?

52.4 inches from the floor, about 4 feet 4 inches. The drawing shows 35.4 inches of fluted panel standing above the frame, so even a thick mattress and a stack of pillows leave most of it on view.

How much room does it need?

80 by 81.3 inches. Centered on a 12 foot (144 in) wall, that leaves about 32 inches on each side. Lengthwise, allow 81.3 inches, about 6 feet 9 inches, plus your walkway.

Is there space under the bed?

No. The fluted panels close the base on all four sides down to the floor. If you need storage, plan for a chest or dresser rather than under-bed bins.

How is it delivered?

By parcel carrier, to your door, in 2 boxes: one of about 70 lb (79 x 13 x 8 in) and one of about 91 lb (45 x 28 x 8 in). The heavier box is short but wide, so two people should carry it.
