The Dalston is a beautiful, handmade, solid wood bed with elegant tapered legs and a bold chevron patterned headboard. A timeless, mid-century design perfect for styling in new or existing bedroom schemes. Pictured here in solid Walnut (some details in Cherry).
Please see the tabs below for further information on this design, including dimensions, lead time and timber options etc.
The Dalston is a timeless classic bed, inspired by mid-century design. This bed base boasts a large headboard panel with a modern twist in the striking chevron patterned headboard; expertly crafted from your choice of solid wood timber. This allows the natural variation in the tones and grains of timber to take centre stage. The Dalston also features tapered legs and a tall base, giving it a grand, proud look.
The Dalston is available in our full hardwood range. Unsure of which timber to pick? You can order your free timber samples here.
Every bed is made to order. Our lead-time is usually around 8 weeks (+ delivery). This can fluctuate throughout the year, so please do get in touch for the most up to date information.
Lacquer Finish: Our ‘natural’ look lacquer finish, named for its clarity, allows you to appreciate the myriad colours and subtle variations in the tone of natural timber. It also retains a very subtle, soft sheen which protects the timber from grease marks and some stains.
All our wooden beds are fitted as standard with sprung beech slats for extra comfort, and to also help increase the life of your mattress.
Easy self assembly. Click here to see our simple self assembly instructions.
Made in Sheffield, keeping local skills alive | 12 year structural guarantee

If you have a deeper mattress than this, we can customise the design by adding to height of the headboard legs and raising the position of the headboard panel. This customisation may incur an additional cost depending on the adjustment required, which varies depending on the size and timber. If you wish to add this customisation to the headboard panel, please use the 'ask us more' tab above to request a quote before proceeding with an order.
