A Fluted Storage Bed Built Like a Box with a Lid

The Roros queen storage bed is made for the apartment or guest bedroom where storage has to hide inside the bed itself. It is built as a box with a lid. The box is the base: four panels in a fluted wood grain finish, closed on every side and set directly on the floor, with a metal frame inside. The lid is the sleeping platform: wood slats seated in end caps across a metal frame with a center support rail, hinged at the headboard and raised by gas struts at each side when you pull the strap at the foot. Behind it, a flat panel headboard in the same fluted finish stands on its own side posts, set a little wider than the base.

Features

• Lift-Up Storage Base that opens nearly the whole area under a queen mattress for suitcases, bins and spare linens, so a small room needs no under-bed boxes
• Gas-Assisted Lift that opens from above instead of sliding out like drawers, so the bed can sit close to a wall or a nightstand and the storage stays easy to reach
• Closed Base that rests on the floor with no gap underneath, so dust, lost socks and pet toys have nowhere to collect
• Wipe-Clean Wood Grain Finish that lets dust brush off and spills wipe away with a cloth, an easy surface around a bed that gets bumped by laundry baskets and vacuums
• Fluted Panel Headboard that gives a plain wall the look of paneling behind the bed, without nailing anything to the wall
• Slatted Platform with Center Support Rail that holds the mattress directly, so no box spring is needed
• 1,000-Pound Weight Capacity for two sleepers and a queen mattress together, carried by the metal frame, the slats and the center support rail
• Apartment Bedroom Storage for apartments and guest rooms, where one queen bed holds what would otherwise need a second closet

Materials

• Panels: MDF with Wood Grain Finish
• Frame: Metal
• Mattress Support: Wood Slats with Center Support Rail
• Lift Mechanism: Gas Struts

Care Instructions

• Place the mattress on the platform before using the lift; the gas struts are balanced for a mattress’s weight, and an empty platform can rise quickly
• Keep hands and items clear of the hinge and the storage edge when lowering the platform
• Pack stored items below the top of the base so the platform closes flat
• Dust the fluted panels with a soft dry brush or microfiber cloth, working along the grooves
• Wipe spills right away and dry the surface fully; do not leave water standing in the grooves or along panel edges
• Clean with a cloth lightly dampened with water and mild soap; avoid abrasive pads, polish and solvent cleaners, which can dull or lift the finish
• Keep the bed out of long periods of direct sunlight and away from heaters and humidifiers
• Check and tighten the frame bolts and gas strut fittings every few months
• Lift the bed rather than dragging it when moving; the base rests on the floor along its full length, so dragging can scrape the panel edges and the floor
