Brown Maple Bed Frames Crafted by Amish Woodworkers


Brown maple has much to offer bedroom furniture: remarkable durability, elegant grain patterns, and the ease with which it takes on various finishes. That’s why it’s become one of the most popular wood species amongst Countryside Amish Furniture customers seeking new bedroom frames. 

Our furniture, including bed frames, can be customized in various wood species. While this article showcases a diverse range of beds photographed in brown maple, keep in mind that we offer an extensive selection of other frames that can be specially ordered in brown maple as well.

When you picture Amish woodworking, the Northport Sleigh Bed may be what comes to mind. The hardwood of your choice (in this case, brown maple) is gracefully shaped into a clean, understated silhouette reinforced by advanced techniques like mortise & tenon joinery and dovetailed slats to support the mattress. This frame is elevated 8” from the ground to enable under-bed storage.

Why Choose Brown Maple For Your Bed Frame

Each wood species has its own unique qualities, and brown maple is no different. Brown maple may be the ideal choice for your bed frame if you value:

  • A tight, consistent wood grain - A brown maple bed will showcase a fine, uniform grain pattern that naturally exudes luxury. 

  • Relative affordability - Brown maple isn’t the most affordable solid wood option offered by Countryside Amish Furniture (that honor belongs to oak). However, it exudes effortless elegance often associated with pricier walnut and white oak while carrying a reduced price, potentially making it the perfect crossroads of affordability and class.  

  • Accommodating diverse stains - Look at our samples page, and you’ll notice that the same stain can look vastly different when placed on different wood species. Brown maple complements the vibrancy of the color, whether you opt for warm or cool, light or dark stains.

  • Sustainability: Brown maple is a fast-growing tree species, which means it can be harvested more sustainably compared to slower-growing hardwoods. Harvesting brown maple responsibly helps conserve other valuable wood resources.

Trust Countryside Amish Furniture With Your Brown Maple Bed Frames

Countryside Amish Furniture places brown maple and other wood species of similar strength into the hands of highly-trained Amish craftspeople, resulting in beds that are works of art. Best of all, we give you creative control–you choose the stain, the size, and potentially other design features that make the bed frame truly your own.
