Meet The Willard Bed Frame, our best seller since it’s inception in 2019!

The Willard is an homage to the mid-century modern furniture we love, with modern updates, and our own Commoner Goods spin.

It all begins with solid hardwood. If you customize your own with with American Walnut, we make it with solid, true, 100% American Walnut! No plywood or staining cheap woods to look like the real deal here, period. The Willard is available in American Walnut, Bleached Maple, Cherry, Raw White Oak, and White Oak.

From there we shape it to honor timeless MCM style, including tapered legs, and a headboard that arches back at a comfortable ten degrees. We then incorporate our own rounded details at the top of the headboard and posts, and the bottom of the legs.

For parts that are permanently joined together, we use mortise and tenons, reinforced with a mechanical draw bore for the gosh darn strongest joints. The side rails and footboard detach for easy transportation, and for those joints we use best in the business Festool connectors which are simple to use, super strong, and setup with a single Allen wrench.

No detail is spared as our platform structure is made of stout, solid poplar, and features our puzzle-piece slat system in which each slat rests in its own puzzle piece pocket, making set up an enjoyable process.

We can make you a queen, California king, or king size.

The Willard is further customizable in headboard height. It’s available as standard, 42” high, low, 39” high, or tall, 46” high. All of our product photos are of our standard, 42” height, to help in the decision making process.

It’s sealed with durable, penetrating hard wax oils used in the flooring industry, that leave a natural feel and low sheen, remarkably resistant to scuffs and liquids for a non-plasticky finish derived solely from plant-based oils & waxes. It’s easy to refresh with maintenance products, and simple to spot repair with age, needing no special skills or tools to apply. The slat structure is left raw and unsealed.

As a best seller, we try to keep a few extra in stock as often as possible! So if you’re looking for something quick one of these may be just the right choice!

If you’d like something made just for you though, we can have your very own Willard to you in about 6-8 weeks. But do check in with us on a current, up to date lead time.

Learn more about dimensions and other details in the product description of the shop listings themselves.

And if you’re further away, we can always build a crate, and have yours shipped with our favorite freight carrier.

The height to the top of the slats is 12.25” tall. To determine how high your mattress will sit, add that 12.25” to the thickness of your mattress. Any mattress over a 9” thick will have no gap between it and the bottom of the headboard. The mattress nestles 3-3/4” into the side rails, and the entire frame allows about 1/8” wiggle room on all sides, to accept your mattress and bedding.
