Max and Lily Scandinavian Queen Bed

Buy this one and you are probably done buying beds. The Max & Lily Scandinavian Queen Bed comes out of a kids’ furniture line, so it is built like the bunks and twins beside it, but it is a full queen frame in a plain, quiet design — the size a teenager moves up to and keeps well past the point where anything else in the room gets replaced.

Knot-Free Solid Wood, Not Veneer

Construction is knot-free solid pine and aspen. That is the same material used on the load-bearing bunk beds in this collection, which is more frame than a queen platform strictly needs and part of why it lasts. The finish is GREENGUARD Gold Certified, meaning it was tested for low chemical emissions in indoor air — a fair thing to ask of the largest piece of furniture in a bedroom.

• Knot-free solid pine and aspen construction
• GREENGUARD Gold Certified finish
• Slat rolls included, so the mattress needs no box spring

An Open Headboard and Open Floor

The slatted headboard keeps the wall behind it visible, so a queen bed reads lighter in a mid-sized room than a solid panel would. Underneath, the frame is left open rather than boxed in, which is where the off-season clothes and the bins nobody wants on display end up going.

Four Finishes

Black, Blonde, White/Blonde and Blonde/Black. Blonde and Black are single-tone if you want the bed to recede; the two-tone pairings put pale wood against a painted frame and give the room one deliberate accent instead of a matched set.

Assembly and Delivery

• Ships in one box, with slat rolls, hardware and the tools included
• Easy-to-read instructions, no separate parts run
• Solid wood, so the box is genuinely heavy — plan on two people

Mattress sold separately. Bedsmart ships Canada-wide and processes returns inside Canada, so nothing has to be crated back to a US warehouse.
