Penobscot Sleigh Bed
The Penobscot collection is named after the great river that runs through the center of Maine and empties into the Atlantic Ocean. Before dams were placed on the river, ocean ships could travel all the way inland to Bangor, which was the lumber export capital of the world in the 1800's, to pick up their wooden cargo. There were so many boats in the river it is said you could walk from deck to deck to cross between the two cities of Bangor and Brewer.
The Penobscot sleigh bed, built in cherry, is a modern take on the cozy Victorian sleigh bed, with clean, elegant lines.
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.

Product Details:
Built in cherry, this bed is designed to be used as a platform bed that only requires a mattress or to accommodate a standard mattress and foundation. 5 - 1/2" thick by 15 3/4"W plywood slats make up the bed foundation. This rests on 1" x 1" cleats attached to solid wood rails. Also there is a solid wood spine that runs under the plywood for extra support, in the center of the bed, suspended by 3 adjustable feet.
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.
Built to Order
Standard build times are approximately 10-12 weeks, plus delivery.Platform vs. Standard Bed Frame
A Standard bed frame typically comes with 3-5 "slats", or pieces of wood that lay across the side rails of the bed frame. These slats are designed to hold a traditional box spring, or foundation, which sits under a mattress to provide support.
A Platform bed has either plywood or sufficient slats running down the length of the bed frame to directly support a mattress without the need for a box spring.
Platform beds typically cost a little more than Standard ones, but they avoid the need to purchase a box spring and allow for a more modern, lower profile look.
