I ordered a Queen size platform bed made from solid white oak with a wax-oil finish. The components arrived in 2 neat ( but of course heavy!) packages that were well padded and my husband and I were able to assemble the frame and platform easily. The result is a well made, elegant and beautiful product that will last many years. I love the craftsmanship !

We ordered Wilbur Davis' platform bed #4. It came quickly and is absolutely beautiful - beautifully made. We wound up deciding that we wanted it to sit lower than originally planned and the studio was very obliging in sending a 2nd set of legs to revised dimensions. A pleasure to work with!

We loved what we saw on the website and loved that we could customize our bed in terms of headboard and drawer depth. What arrived is exactly what it looked like and what we desired. Communication with the studio was easy and instilled confidence. The quality shows! Very happy with our 20-year anniversary new bedroom furnishings that safely shipped from MA to CA!

I purchased an oak bed frame and could not be happier with it! Based on other reviews, I had high expectations, but still it was even more gorgeous that I'd expected. Really great quality and craftsmanship. And fantastic customer service. Highly recommend!
