Solid Wood King Size Bed in Dark Walnut - Carved Teak Panelled Design

The Case for a Bed With Nothing Added

Every other bed in this range adds something to the wood: paint, gilding, silver, leather, velvet. Each of those is a decision that has to keep being right for as long as you own the bed, and each is a surface that needs its own care. This design removes all of them. What is left is teak, cut and carved and polished, which is the oldest way to make a bed and the only one that gets better rather than worse with handling. Polish can be refreshed in place decades later; a gilded or painted surface generally has to be stripped and redone. Dark walnut also hides the small knocks that show instantly on ivory or white.

The restraint extends to the carving itself. There is a palmette at the crest, an oval cartouche on the footboard and a scrolled apron below it, and then large areas of clean moulded panel deliberately left alone. Dense carving across every surface is easier to sell in a photograph and harder to live with in a room that already has curtains, art and a rug competing for attention. This piece is built for bedrooms where the bed is meant to anchor the room rather than dominate it. It is carved and polished by hand by master Indian artisans, and the images here show the actual bed.

How a Polished Wooden Bed Is Packed

A polished surface fails differently from a painted one. Paint chips at edges; polish scratches across faces, and a scratch on a large flat dark panel is far more visible than a mark on a carved white one because there is nothing else on that surface to distract from it. So the priority in packing this bed is broad-surface protection rather than contour work. The headboard and footboard panels are faced with a soft non-abrasive layer across their entire area, with nothing gritty or printed against the polish, then foam-padded and edge-guarded along every moulded margin.

The turned posts and their finials are the components most likely to take a knock, since they project at the corners and are the first points of contact in any handling error. Each is individually wrapped and rigid-guarded along its length. The carved palmette crest and the footboard cartouche are contour-padded so nothing bears on the relief. Everything is crated and strapped, and the two bedside chests are boxed separately with drawers immobilised so they cannot slide and score the polish from inside. The commitment is the same as on every Brown Rabbit piece: dent-free, scratch-free arrival, or we put it right.

Free PAN-India Delivery on a Made-to-Order Wooden Bed

Delivery is free everywhere in India, with no distance surcharge and no freight line on your invoice. Production is where the time goes. Because there is no upholstery stage, this bed moves through the workshop faster than the tufted designs in our range, but the finishing is not quick: a walnut polish is built up in several passes and cut back between them, and rushing it produces a surface that looks flat rather than deep. We give you a realistic completion window once your specification is confirmed, and if you have a fixed date we will say at enquiry whether it is achievable.

The finished bed ships in multi-layer protective packing under our dent-free arrival guarantee, and we keep you informed from dispatch through to arrival. Our team assembles it in your bedroom, and we ask you to look over the polish across the large flat panels with them present, since that is where any transit mark would show. Anything you are not satisfied with should be raised there and then. If your staircase, lift or bedroom door is tight, tell us at enquiry and the frame will be engineered to break down into sections that will pass through.

Warranty on This Solid Wood Bed

Twenty years on the solid teak frame and joinery, and lifetime cover against termite damage. On this design that warranty covers effectively the whole bed, because there is no upholstery, no foam and no gilding sitting outside it. The headboard, the footboard, the posts, the rails and every joint between them are teak and are covered for the full term. That is worth stating plainly: with the more elaborate beds in our range, a meaningful part of the surface falls outside the structural warranty. Here almost nothing does.

What sits outside is the polish itself, which is a wearing surface and will mark over decades of use. Even that is the most forgiving option we offer, because polish can be cut back and rebuilt in place without stripping the piece, and we will do that at any point in the life of the bed at an honest price. Termite cover has no expiry because teak's resistance is a property of the timber, not of a treatment applied to it, and because every board is seasoned and treated before carving. Keep the bed indoors, away from standing water and prolonged direct sun, and do not modify the frame yourself.
