Modern Four-Poster Bed

From the tall tapered posts to the frame-and-panel headboard and footboard, classic design elements make this bed a showpiece that’s at home in just about any bedroom decor.

Fortunately, modern knockdown hardware makes it possible to accommodate almost any design. We’ve chosen some very common hardware and assembly ideas for this bed.
