Chilton's modern version of a classic Shaker design. Built to stand the test of time; this bed is as solid as Mount Katahdin's granite. This bed can be made as a standard bed which accommodates a box spring and mattress or as a platform bed which only needs a mattress. Your choice. Crafted in Maine using solid cherry.
Chilton was once again honored to be able to showcase our furniture in an episode of the National TV series Tree House Masters as seen on Animal Planet. This project was closer to home as a they built a beautiful lake side tree house in Monmouth, ME. This project featured two of our beds, the Penobscot Sleigh and the Shaker Arch. We are hoping they are providing a restful night sleep after a day of play and adventure in the canopy of the forest. You can see the full 2018 episode here.

Please note that when your new cherry wood furniture arrives, it may be lighter in color than the wood shown in the accompanying photo. New cherry wood is initially a pale, straw color and gradually darkens to a beautiful amber over time with exposure to light.
