Anchorage Chest

The Captain's Bed is crafted from solid FSC®-certified beech wood, known for its durability and eco-friendliness. The wood is finger-jointed using water-based, non-toxic wood glue, and the drawer bottoms are made from plywood. This solid hardwood bed is free from MDF, engineered wood, particleboard, fiberboard, veneer, and laminate, ensuring a high-quality, sustainable construction.

Yes, the bed is made from sustainably sourced beech wood and finished with a natural hand-rubbed linseed oil, which is non-toxic and zero-VOC. The wood glue used is also non-toxic, water-based, formaldehyde-free, and safe for both adults and children. Additionally, the bed does not off-gas, so there's no need to air it out, though doing so won’t hurt.

No. The drawers are equipped with all-metal glides. All adhesives used in construction are non-toxic, water-based, zero-VOC, and formaldehyde-free.

This captain’s bed can be ordered with single- or double-layer drawers on one or both sides, so you can choose how much storage you need. The drawers run on smooth metal glides and are sized for clothing, bedding, or linens. Some configurations replace the drawers with a large enclosed storage compartment with doors, and there’s also a no-storage option if you prefer a simpler setup.

Twin and Full drawers measure 24" L x 22" W x 5" H each. Twin XL, Queen, and King drawers measure 26" L x 22" W x 5" H each. There is 6" of clearance, and the front drawer panel is 7.5" high, so the drawer face sits slightly taller than the usable interior.

The Captain's Bed is available in Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, and King sizes, offering options for various room sizes and needs. A King size is essentially two Twin XL sections placed side by side.

Twin sizes ship fully assembled but can also be shipped unassembled in flat boxes if requested at the time of purchase, making it easier to fit through tight spaces. Other sizes, such as Full, Queen, and King, ship assembled in two pieces with connecting hardware included. However, these sizes can also be shipped unassembled in flat boxes if requested, providing flexibility for delivery in spaces with limited access.

No, the bed includes a solid slat system, which provides direct mattress support. You may also opt for a Coconut Coir Bed Rug, a natural, chemical-free option that allows air circulation under your mattress.

Yes, the bed can be painted after a light sanding, despite the linseed oil finish. However, please note that doing so will void the manufacturer's warranty.

We do have a gallery of real photos from our warehouse and deliveries that shows how these beds look when fully assembled. Not every single model or size is pictured, but it’s a good reference for the frame details, finish, overall look, proportions, and quality.

Yes, the bed's sturdy solid beech wood construction and weight capacity make it a versatile option for both adults and children.

Thanks to the solid wood slats, the bed frame is rated for up to 1,000 lbs per section. Twin and Twin XL sizes use one section, while Full, Queen, and King sizes use two sections for a total capacity of up to 2,000 lbs. This maximum capacity includes the weight of the mattress and bedding.

If you’re planning to pair the bed with drawers, chests, or nightstands, take a look at our guides on bedroom storage for small rooms and natural storage furniture that matches platform beds. They walk through when to use under-bed drawers, how to match finishes, and how to keep the setup breathable and low-VOC.

We also recommend our piece on measuring for delivery and installation before you order. It explains how to check doorways, stair turns, and room layout so your bed frame, storage modules, and mattress all fit without surprises.
