The Bellevue bed, made of solid oak, features a low footboard that creates a greater sense of space and a simple paneled design. The oak, sourced only from sustainable forests, is finished with a natural lacquer to protect and enhance the beautiful details of its grain. Oak is highly valued by furniture and cabinet makers because it bends well, finishes smoothly, and resists moisture. Your mattress is supported by strong wooden slats, while a central rail and support legs provide additional strength and stability.
