Laertes Light Brown King Bed

To accommodate a king bed with these dimensions (80"W x 83.5"D), we recommend a bedroom that is at least 12' x 12'. This ensures you have approximately 24 to 30 inches of walking space around the perimeter, allowing for easy movement and the placement of coordinating items like the Laertes nightstands. In smaller master suites, its minimalist profile and tapered legs create an "airy" feel by exposing more floor space, which helps the room appear larger rather than cramped.

Customer assembly is required for this item. The process involves joining the headboard, footboard, and side rails using the provided hardware. To ensure a silent and sturdy sleep surface, we recommend tightening all bolts firmly during the initial setup and periodically checking them after the first few weeks of use. For those living in urban apartments or homes with narrow staircases, this bed’s "knock-down" design is a major advantage, as the individual components are much easier to maneuver through tight hallways than a fully assembled frame.

This bed features a wooden frame and natural cane details, materials that can be sensitive to extreme fluctuations in moisture. In high-humidity or coastal environments, we recommend maintaining a stable indoor climate with air conditioning or a dehumidifier. This helps prevent the wood from expanding or the cane from softening, ensuring the structural integrity and the "tight" look of the headboard weave remain intact for years to come.

Based on our furniture care expertise, we recommend dusting the wood and cane surfaces regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning of the cane weave, you can use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment to remove dust from the crevices. If a spill occurs, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and water, then dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or furniture polishes, as these can damage the light brown finish and cause the natural cane fibers to become brittle over time.

This bed is designed to be used with a mattress foundation or box spring. A proper foundation is essential for a king mattress as it provides a sturdy, flat base that prevents sagging and ensures even weight distribution across the 80-inch width. Using an appropriate foundation also helps maintain your mattress warranty and elevates the mattress to a comfortable height that complements the 50.5-inch headboard.
