Description
The Charles double is an upholstered bed base rather than a bed frame: there is no headboard, and the base is the same 137 x 188 cm footprint as the NZ standard double mattress that sits on it. Four drawers are built into the base and the listing states 15 cm of under-bed clearance. The frame is padded with foam over wood and metal struts, and stands on 6 legs. It is manufactured in New Zealand and needs no assembly. A mattress is not included.

Will the bed fit your room?
Check the complete frame size—not only the mattress size—before ordering.

Questions before you buy
Does this come with a headboard?
No. The Charles is a bed base only. There is no headboard and no mattress included, so budget for those separately if you want them.
Does it need assembling?
No. The double base arrives built. That also means it ships at full size, 137 x 188 x 39 cm, so check doorways, corners and stairwells first.
What mattress fits?
An NZ standard double, 137 x 188 cm. The base is exactly the same footprint, so the mattress sits flush rather than overhanging.
How many drawers and how much clearance?
Four drawers are built into the base, and the listing states 15 cm of under-bed clearance.
How high will the finished bed be?
The base alone is 39 cm high. Add your mattress depth to that figure to work out the height you will be getting in and out of.
Where is it made?
New Zealand. Place of origin is listed as New Zealand in the product specifications.
