Inspired by the sparse beauty of Shaker dormitories at Hancock Village, MA, our bed is crafted from solid American Cherry or Black Walnut. The design philosophy is sturdy and repairable with single-stave rails and posts, and a ¾-inch-thick headboard made from three carefully selected boards.

A slotted dado joint in the headboard posts allows you to choose your preferred side of the headboard. For long-term durability and a quiet, rigid connection, we use surface-mounted Häfele galvanized steel brackets. Optional machined carbon steel casters remain true to the originals, with the added benefit of a lockable position for zero roll.

Each bed is hand-rubbed with purified raw linseed oil, creating a natural, zero-VOC finish that can be renewed over time. The result is a bed designed to last, and to be repaired, refinished, or adapted as needed. Even in the most contemporary setting, the bed’s understated lines feel quietly timeless.

timeless simplicity

“We love the bed because it’s quietly elegant and just lets the natural beauty of great wood reveal itself—no stains, veneers, lacquers, or VOCs.” – Luke Sherwin, Owner

  • Hand-Rubbed with Raw Linseed Oil for Zero VOCs

    Every bed is finished in slow-drying, 100% pure linseed oil. This gives the bed an enduring, zero VOC finish that is also serviceable for life. Unlike veneered or heavily stained mass-furniture, if you ding this bed you can just sand it and re-oil it.

  • Toolless Assembly

    Bed assembly takes ten minutes. It arrives partially assembled with high-quality mortise-tenon fasteners at each corner. The headboard slots tightly into a dado joint that is exceptionally rigid.

We design our furniture to be repairable by you or by us. If you ever need help — from accident, wear, or age — we will do our best to repair it at direct cost. We do not profit from parts or repair work. As long as we are in business, we will do our best to keep your Roseland in use.

Made by Hand. Built to Last.

Each bed is built by hand, using time-tested woodworking methods. Every joint is cut, fit, and finished with care—no shortcuts, no hidden work. What you see is honest craft, made to last.

The Roseland Bed

  • Solid Native Wood

    Your bed is made from Solid American Cherry or Black Walnut - no veneers, stains, or lacquers.

  • Free Shipping & Returns

    The bed ships free in two separate reinforced boxes via UPS ground. We'll also cover your return shipping label.

  • Fully Toolless Assembly

    With steel Hafele mortise-tenon brackets, and a dado joint for the headboard, the bed requires no tools to assemble.

How Wood Changes with Time

Because we finish with pure raw linseed oil, the wood remains open to light, air, and use. Cherry naturally deepens from a pale golden tone to a warm red-brown, while walnut gradually lightens and softens into a warmer medium brown. The change is part of the material, and part of what makes each piece feel more settled over time.

  • FRESH CHERRY

    Cherry begins pale and golden, with a clean, quiet grain. In the first months of use, light and air bring out its natural warmth and depth.

  • MATURE CHERRY

    With time, cherry settles into a deeper red-brown tone. The grain becomes warmer and richer, giving the wood a more settled, lived-in character.

  • FRESH WALNUT

    Fresh walnut begins dark and expressive, with cool brown tones and visible movement in the grain. At first, its color can feel more dramatic and varied.

  • MATURE WALNUT

    With age, walnut gradually lightens toward a medium brown. The contrast softens, the undertones grow warmer, and the grain feels more settled over time.

Things to Know

At Roseland, we are proud to finish our beds by hand, the old fashioned way. We don’t stain, spray, use lacquers or polys, and we don’t do VOCs. Here are some of the ways this might be different to what you’re used to:

Natural color shifts

Cherry wood starts light and darkens significantly in the first three months. From months 3 to 12, the darkening slows, reaching a deep, rich tone with red undertones. Walnut starts as a deep brown and gradually lightens over time. In the first three months walnut’s tone becomes warmer and lighter. From months 3 to 6, the change slows as it settles into a medium brown with golden or amber tones. In our opinion, the mature tones of both woods are preferable to the initial ones.

Linseed oil means a breathable, naturally coarser finish

Many furniture companies seal their wood with an additive layer that closes the grain and can be sanded to a near mirror finish - the lacquer or polyurethane is being sanded rather than the wood itself. With a breathable oil finish, the wood’s grain is exposed, which is naturally coarser than sanded polyurethane or lacquers.

Solid wood and humidity can mean seasonal movement

In winter, low humidity from furnace heat can lower the humidity content in the wood and dry it somewhat (dry desert environments can do this year round!). If you encounter creaks, the first thing to do is to lubricate the wood-on-wood joints of the bed with a beeswax furniture paste.

3% of Profits to Bring back the American Chestnut

At Roseland, we’re passionate tree buffs and are committed to helping bring back the iconic American chestnut to its native range. We will donate 3% of all unit-level profits at the end of 2026 to the American Chestnut Foundation and other similar efforts.

Lovely Quality Furniture

"I am very pleased with our Pediment Bed (queen in walnut). The wood is gorgeous and the construction is high quality— it feels like it will last for ages and I love the historic design. So many modern beds are super low to the ground and I like that this one has some height to help fill a larger room. It also was super easy to assemble (takes two people just because of the large pieces) and I didn’t have to screw anything together which I loved! It was shipped accurate to the lead time listed. Definitely will look at Roseland for future furniture purchases!"

— Michal B. (5/5)

American Cherry Bed

"The bed was well packaged. It was extremely easy to assemble. The instructions in the package and the video were clear. The wood grain is beautiful. The craftsmanship comes through. I love the simplicity of the lines. It complements my older wooden pieces beautifully."

— Arlene T. (5/5)

What my soul was looking for

"I have reached a point in my life where I am no longer willing to settle for run-of-the-mill items in my home. What I strive for is to surround myself with things that bring me joy and that fulfill my desire to bring authenticity into my space. Things that will endure the test of time. The Roseland bed suits my wife and me perfectly, from the visual to the tactile, as well as the functional elements. As a craftsman and creative, I truly appreciate the value this piece brings to our space and to our sensibilities."

— Richard H. (5/5)

Crafted with timeless values

"I couldn't be more delighted with my purchase of this bed. It was packed with great care and arrived in perfect condition. The American Cherry is a gorgeous wood and the clean lines of this bed are perfection. I have historical pieces of great family value in my home and I wanted a bed that I could pass down for generations like my family heirlooms. This piece will be passed down for generations. It is beautifully made and I am very happy that I purchased a product that was made with American craftsmanship and American wood. I would totally 100% recommend purchasing from this company."

— MD (5/5)

An investment piece that will last a lifetime

"I had been wanting this bed for a really long time, but had shied away due to the price tag. With love for it still years later and in a place to invest in something for my home, I couldn’t be happier with this bed. The craftsmanship is so clear and it’s absolutely stunning. Plus, the customer service is amazing and assembly was really simple. I put it together by myself, but it would be even more straightforward if you had a helper! I look forward to purchasing more investment pieces from this company because they’re truly worth it."

— Katherine (5/5)

5 months strong

"We bought this bed in October 2025, and it has not disappointed. It's very hard to find high-quality, solid wood furniture this large at an affordable price point, so I was very glad to find Roseland. Not only is the bed beautiful and sturdy, but Roseland has also sent us a couple of letters and a sample of some hand-dipped candles. Overall, very happy with the product quality and customer service, especially since this level of thoughtfulness feels pretty rare these days."

— Emma R. (5/5)

Amazing quality and customer service

"This bed is stunning and so comfortable. The customer service is outstanding. I had a little difficulty figuring it out and Luke called me and even facetimed to walk my friends and me through it. I got the kings size and I do feel like you need 3 people to put it together properly."

— Alexis (5/5)

Unmatched Quality

"Shipping was fast, and I was able to assemble the queen frame on my own. The quality is outstanding, and I absolutely love how it looks! It's obvious how much care goes into the their craft. I will absolutely buy from Roseland again."

— Kelly (5/5)

Love the Roseland bed

"We love our queen sized Roseland bed! The American cherry is beautiful in the hand rubbed finish. Ordering was easy and delivery was timely. Our mattress is taller than recommended, but it works for us and we are very satisfied. Thank you!"

— Charla D. (5/5)

Finally, craftsmanship of a bygone era.

"After an exhaustive search for a solid wood bed made simply and beautifully, we discovered The Roseland Bed. Its subtle details and thoughtful construction made assembly an absolute dream. Perfect in every way. We could not be happier. And the side tables are icing on the cake!"

— Tom M. (5/5)

Frequently Asked Questions

Where in the USA is the bed made?

The Roseland Bed is made in two places - at Kenon's shop in Bosque County, Texas and at Tim Copeland and Sons. in Bradford Vermont.

Why is the bed more affordable than other domestic equivalents? What's the trade-off?

Roseland has a narrow design focus that allows us to produce each design at comparatively high volumes for our partners.

While there are some savings from bulk ordering materials (we largely work in just cherry and walnut), the biggest savings come from operating a permanent production line for each product vs. the made-to-order challenge of constant switching costs. This lets our manufacturing partners save time and reduces costs of error.

The trade-off of this approach is that we cannot accept custom requests and we have to maintain a limited design catalog.

Why don't you run seasonal promotions?

Our business is designed to be as efficient as possible and our prices reflect that - by keeping our prices the same throughout the year, we can give our manufacturing a consistent spigot of orders. We offer a $75 credit for those who sign up to our newsletter.

Do you use only American wood?

Yes, everything is domestic. The platform bed is made with Black Cherry (Prunus Serotina) or Black Walnut (Juglans Nigra) and the slats are made from Poplar, Red Oak, or Maple.

What parts of the bed are not made in America?

While the vast majority of the bed is made in America, the Hafele corner steel brackets are stamped in Germany.

Can I get a discount if I order multiple beds?

We offer a 10% discount on three or more beds. Please email us for a single use code.

What is the distance between the slats and how wide is each slat?

Each slat is 2.5" and the spacing is 3" between each slat. This makes the bed compatible with the vast majority of mattresses and their warranties.

How do I take care of the wood finish?

Linseed oil is a traditional finish for early American and European furniture. It protects the wood by penetrating the grain as well as forming a very thin, flexible layer. You can re apply every 5-10 years or as needed. If you ding your bed, you can just sand out the blemish and re-apply linseed oil.

How long does it take to "Dispatch" an order?

Unless otherwise stated, we'll usually dispatch an in-stock order within 3 days of order receipt. Please look to the top of the website for the most recent status updates.

How high would my mattress be from the ground?

The top of the slats are just under 15.25 inches above the ground - they sit inside of the support rails vs. on top of them, allowing us to bring the height slightly lower than you might expect from the design. A typical 10 inch mattress would have you sleeping at 25.25 inches.

How high are the top and bottom of the headboard from the top of the slats?

The top of the headboard is ~24.5 inches above the top of the slats. The bottom of the headboard is ~10.5 inches above the slats.

Is there a video of assembly?

Yes. It's hosted here.

What thickness of mattress is appropriate for the Roseland bed?

We recommend mattresses between 8 inches and 13.5 inches thick. Any thicker and the headboard will feel out of proportion. For context, the mattresses in our shoots are mostly 11.5", with a 10" mattress visible in the more contemporary loft setting and 9.5" on the twin beds.

Why is Black Walnut more expensive than American Cherry?

American Black Walnut is more expensive on a board foot basis and it is also harder to get headboard quality yields. Our black walnut pricing is not a reflection of preference or quality - if you ask us, we actually personally prefer the cherry.

What is the weight limit for the bed?

The max recommended weight on the bed is 700lb including your mattress (this was recently updated).

How does the bed ship and how much do the packages weigh?

Your bed ships in 2-3 packages, with one package substantially larger than the others. The maximum weight package is a little over 100lb for a King size.

What is the clearance of the bed for under-bed storage?

Both the standard legs and caster legs give a floor-to-support-rail clearance of just over 13"

Is there a bundle with the dresser?

Yes there is - please see our bedroom bundle!
