Royal Luxury Handcrafted Carved Teak Wood King Bed | White Tufted Footboard

The Story Behind This Bed

Whether to have a footboard is a decision worth making deliberately rather than by default, and it turns on three things.

Room length. A tall footboard visually shortens a room, because it interrupts the floor line. In a bedroom under about twelve feet long, that is a real effect. In a large room it does the opposite, giving the bed a defined end rather than letting it drift.

Who sleeps in it. Anyone over about six feet tends to dislike a high footboard, because feet meet it. A reduced-height footboard solves this and keeps most of the visual benefit.

Bedding. A footboard genuinely stops quilts and sheets sliding off the end, which is more useful than it sounds.

There is also a practical construction point. A tall footboard is a structural member joining both side rails at the foot, so it stiffens the whole frame. Beds built without one need heavier side rails and a stronger corner fixing to compensate - which we do as a matter of course when a customer asks for the footboard to be left off.

Factual specification for this royal luxury carved teak wood bed:

Packaging and Transit Protection

This bed has two large carved components rather than one: the headboard and an unusually substantial footboard, each of which needs full crate protection. Both travel flat in individual cross-braced crates with rigid boards on both faces, with pierced carving foam-cradled continuously and projecting crest, wing and scroll elements individually wrapped.

The tufted leather panels on both boards are protected with standoff blocking bridging over the buttons and covered in soft breathable cloth - never sealed plastic against leather, which needs to breathe. White finishes show every contact mark, so no adhesive tape touches the frame at any point; wrapping is secured to protective layers only. Side rails are edge-protected along their full length. Fittings bagged, labelled and packed with the assembly drawing. All crates corner-guarded, marked for orientation and lifting points, photographed sealed before dispatch.

Shipping and Delivery

Before manufacture we need your mattress dimensions, your ceiling height, and - specific to this design - your room length, since a tall footboard affects how a shorter bedroom reads. We will tell you honestly if we think a full-height footboard is wrong for your room. Typical lead time is 10 to 12 weeks from order confirmation, longer with matching cabinets, dresser or wardrobe.

Delivery is free anywhere in India - Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Kolkata, Ahmedabad and elsewhere. Our team carries components up, assembles the bed in the room, levels it and removes packaging. Note that this design has two large boards to bring in rather than one, so the access route matters twice over - send us the tightest point before manufacture. International orders quoted case by case.

Craftsmanship Assurance and Care

Our craftsmanship assurance covers the solid teak frame, its joinery, the mattress support and the hand-carving. If a joint works loose, a rail fails or a carved element separates because of a fault in the making - rather than through impact, misuse, sitting or standing on the footboard, or an attempted self-repair - we repair or replace it. Leather panels and foam are consumable components covered separately.

Do not sit on the footboard. It is a carved and upholstered structural rail, not a bench, and repeated sitting is the commonest way a footboard joint is loosened - if you want somewhere to sit at the foot of the bed, we build a matching bench. Wipe the tufted leather panels with a barely damp cloth and dry immediately, never with household cleaner. Clean the pierced white carving with a clean dry soft brush; a damp cloth on a matte white finish drives dust into the paint and greys it over time. Tighten all fixings a fortnight after assembly and check them when the bed is moved.
