Oak darkens a shade in the first year and the oil needs renewing every two or three years.
Choose an option first.
Four posts, four rails, a 35 cm headboard and a slatted base of 22 birch slats, all held with steel bolts into threaded inserts rather than wood screws. The frame sits 32 cm off the floor, which is the height most people find easiest to get out of in the morning and still leaves room for a flat storage box underneath.
All four widths are the same price. The frame costs us nearly the same to make at 90 cm as at 180 cm; the mattress is where the difference is, and we do not sell mattresses.

The assembly time on the page was 35 minutes. It took us 40, and 10 of those were finding the second hex key, which was in the box all along.
Measured the stairwell against the sizes page before ordering. The long box went up on its side exactly as described. No scuffs.
Exactly the colour of the photograph in daylight, a shade warmer under the bedroom lamp. Read the drawback line; it is accurate.

Natural oil keeps the wood its own colour and lets it darken with age. White oil holds pale wood pale and hides marks on pine. Smoked oil is a dark brown oil, not a stain; the grain stays visible and scratches show pale.
Charcoal is near black and shows fingerprints until it has been wiped a few times. Moss is a grey-green. Chalk is a warm off-white, not pure white.
Shelves and rails come in the lengths listed, all at one price. Desks come in two widths. The dimensions line above the options is for the option shown in the photograph.
