Handcrafted Iron Beds
Built by hand in Los Angeles since 1999. 65+ designs, 25 custom finishes, lifetime warranty.
Iron beds are bed frames built from heavy-gauge steel tubing, solid iron rod, and hand-poured metal castings. Handcrafted iron beds like the ones we build in our Los Angeles workshop use welded one-piece construction that lasts for generations, supports 500-800 lbs, and comes in Victorian, modern, canopy, four poster, platform, and daybed styles.
Our handcrafted iron beds are built by hand in our Los Angeles workshop, using the same construction methods that have defined quality iron bed frames since the late 1800s. Every iron bed in our collection is made to order from heavy-gauge, thick-walled steel tubing with hand-poured structural castings at each welded joint. These castings aren't decorative add-ons screwed onto the frame later. They're poured around the weld points to reinforce the structure exactly where it needs the most mass, which is why our iron beds don't flex, shift, or squeak with age.
For over 27 years, we've built iron beds for bedrooms across America — from Victorian-inspired American Classics with ornate scrollwork to clean modern Iron Art designs, coastal North Haven Traditions frames, and dramatic Dream Gallery statement pieces. Every iron bed comes with a lifetime structural warranty because the construction is built to outlast the buyer, not just the return window. Our iron beds are available in 25 hand-applied finishes across the full range, from Antique Bronze patinas to Distressed White to premium designer options.
Whether you're furnishing a primary bedroom, outfitting a guest room, or replacing a worn-out bed that's finally given up after decades of use, a handcrafted iron bed is the strongest long-term investment you can make. Explore our iron canopy beds, four poster iron beds, panel iron beds, iron platform beds, and iron daybeds below. Every bed ships with free First Threshold delivery on all orders, with White Glove in-home assembly available for an additional charge.

Panel Iron Beds
Panel iron beds are the heart of the iron bed tradition, featuring decorative headboards and footboards in styles ranging from ornate European scrollwork to clean American lines. This is our largest category, with 52 designs that span every collection and price point. Every panel iron bed is handcrafted with heavy-gauge steel and hand-poured castings.
Four Poster Iron Beds
Four poster iron beds feature four prominent corner posts that rise above the headboard and footboard, creating architectural presence without the overhead frame of a canopy. Our four poster collection spans every price point, from classic Brighton designs starting at $1,560 to dramatic Dream Gallery pieces like the Amiens Abbey. These beds work well in bedrooms with 8-foot ceilings or higher.
Iron Platform Beds
Iron platform beds feature three-sided Surround frames that wrap around the mattress, eliminating the need for a box spring and creating a low-profile modern silhouette. Every platform bed belongs to our Iron Art collection and uses clean geometric lines that pair naturally with contemporary, industrial, and minimalist interiors. The mattress sits directly on a slatted foundation inside the frame.
Iron Canopy Beds
An iron canopy bed transforms the vertical space of a bedroom with four soaring posts connected by an overhead iron frame. Every canopy bed we build belongs to our Dream Gallery collection and is available in 13 hand-applied finishes. Canopy beds work best in rooms with at least 9-foot ceilings for proper visual proportion.
Iron Daybeds
Iron daybeds combine the durability of our bed frames with the versatility of a sofa, making them ideal for guest rooms, home offices, and bonus spaces. Our daybeds use the same heavy-gauge steel construction and hand-applied finishes as our full-size beds, with designs ranging from open ironwork to tailored upholstery.

Why Choose a Handcrafted Iron Bed
Built to Outlast Generations
Heavy-gauge steel tubing, solid iron rod, and hand-poured structural castings make our iron beds strong enough to last 50 to 100 years or more. Welded one-piece construction means no bolts to loosen and no squeaks to develop. Every bed comes with a lifetime structural warranty.
Handcrafted in Los Angeles
We've been building iron beds by hand in our Los Angeles workshop for over 27 years, using the same construction methods proven since the late 1800s. Every bed is made to order by skilled craftspeople, not mass-produced overseas.
Free Delivery + Lifetime Warranty
Free First Threshold delivery on every order in the continental United States. White Glove in-home delivery and assembly available for $299. Every iron bed is backed by our lifetime structural warranty.
How We Compare to Other Iron Bed Brands
Most iron beds sold online today are mass-produced overseas with thin-walled aluminum tubing and decorative castings that are screwed or glued onto the frame. The result is a bed that looks similar on a website but squeaks within a year and develops wobble as bolts loosen. Our iron beds are built differently. We use heavy-gauge steel tubing, hand-poured structural castings that reinforce every weld joint, and one-piece welded headboards and footboards. Every frame is built in the same Los Angeles workshop as the bed it connects to, so the tolerances are exact. That's why we can offer a lifetime structural warranty while most iron bed brands cap theirs at one to five years.
