Custom Built Platform, Pedestal, and Storage Beds by Watersong

Pedestal and Platform Beds

Floating Maple Bed

Vertical grain of hard white maple lifts this platform queen-size bed off from the bamboo floor for a floating sensation. A clear acrylic finish adds to the whiteness and lightness of a solid built-in blanket box and night stands. Elliptical design, echoed in both a flat headboard and foot chest, both vertical and horizontal, give a zen balance. Hidden finger-pulls on drawers and chest lid offer clean lines. The heavy 5/4 maple lid is compensated and connected by hydraulic lifts and a piano hinge for a quiet and full 90? functional opening.

A bed with pedestal and no drawers allows for major recess of the pedestal base – leaving the frame and mattress to seemingly float on space. And no stubbing of the toes! This is an example in oak with a light natural finish.
	This platform bed for mattress only has a frame that’s half the height of the mattress. The shallow frame contains the mattress and ties in the plywood decking with the Hickory/Pecan pedestal.
This heartwood Hickory/Pecan with a natural finish has a soft look for a very hard wood. The matching nightstands, dresser and mirror all have the same quarter-edge round on all edges – ergo-dynamic, easy to live with.
	This pedestal platform is made from Poplar – primed and painted with a flat head board. As a woodworker, I prefer not to paint over the beauty of the wood grain; however, this customer‘s request created a new look in a modern motif.
Another example of the painted wood acquiring an oriental look is this waterbed with a very low pedestal. The white enamel paint on Poplar adds to the clean, discreet lines of the furniture. It’s a short fall to the floor – although think about standing up!!

Pedestals with Drawers

I make four-drawer pedestals. Each drawer measures 30 by 20 by 9 inches deep. These trundle drawers are supported with a side mount steel ball-bearing slide, with a 100 pound capacity. Each drawer has a Ľ inch plywood bottoms and again, is screwed and glued. King-size beds also offer a foot door for accessing center storage – skies, rifles, fishing poles. Cedar lined drawers are optional. More customers than not prefer drawers to dust bunnies. Plus, think of the storage opportunities and access. For extra storage, a double high pedestal is available with two layers of drawers per side. The top drawer is 6 and the bottom is 9 inches, top to bottom.

This 5-piece solid Oak bedroom suite with Sticknee handles is mission style. The four-panel head and foot board frames a waterbed mattress with a drawer pedestal beneath.

Notice the grain on the pedestal and dresser drawers. The side-by-side drawer faces are cut from the same board, giving a continuous grain – that’s my attention to detail and gift to the customer.
