Our classic Malabar bed base is available to order here in sophisticated black stained oak. This finish still allows the texture of the wood grain to show through, but gives an overall opaque look. Please see the tabs below for further information on this design, including dimensions, lead time and timber options etc.
Our original Malabar design in a unique black finish. This black oak bed features an opaque lacquer which allows the strong texture of the oak grain to shine through
Every bed base is made to order. Our lead-time is usually around 8 weeks (+ delivery). This can fluctuate throughout the year, so please do get in touch for the most up to date information.
As standard, we use our ‘natural’ look lacquer finish, named for its clarity. However, the black stain used on this oak bed creates a very opaque finish, whilst still allowing the texture of the grain to show through. It retains a very subtle, soft sheen which protects the timber from grease marks and some stains.
If you are interested in purchasing the Malabar finished in our standard lacquer, check out the original Malabar product page. You can also order this design in smoked walnut.
All our wooden beds are fitted as standard with sprung beech slats for extra comfort, and to also help increase the life of your mattress. If you would like to up lift to fixed pine slats, please contact us for a quote. You can find out more about both slat options here.Â
Our slats are approximately 6.5cm wide and the gap between them is also approx. 6.5cm.
This bed is delivered flat-packed for self-assembly. Click here to see our simple self assembly instructions and demonstration video. The Malabar base is listed under the Core Collection/Nevada Range.
This bed base will take between 20 – 30 minutes to assemble.
