Sustainably Sourced Wood

Funky Chunky Furniture’s shelves, mantels, and furniture are crafted from responsibly sourced wood. We work with suppliers who prioritise sustainable forestry, ensuring forests are well-managed to support biodiversity, protect wildlife habitats, and promote long-term regeneration.

Solid Rustic Timber

To make these Whickham wooden loft beds we select top quality, unsorted, kiln-dried pine. Each handmade bed frame is cut to size and finished in our signature rustic style. This leaves in lots of natural timber characteristics and features. Mother Nature's own stamp of approval.

In this style you can expect to find splits, cracks, knots, shakes, waney edges, bows and twists, along with machine marks in keeping with the rustic style. These are the qualities that set our furniture apart from the rest. And due to the nature of solid wood every bed frame will be different. Truly unique. One of a kind. Please note that further movement may occur within the timber, particularly if the item is placed near to a heat source, which may exaggerate these natural features.

Solid Wood Bed Slats

Built to last, our handcrafted solid wood bed slats provide unbeatable strength and support. Made from premium timber, they’re designed to hold heavy weight and extend mattress life. our Slats structure holds over 500 kg, ensuring exceptional durability and stability. Perfect for any bed frame, these durable slats offer silent, stable comfort night after night.

• Heavy-duty support
• Solid wood 
• Long-lasting durability

Bed Slat Thickness: 22cm 

2 Fine Wax Finish Colours

To finish the Whickham Bed Frame we use your choice of one of our supreme wax polishes. The finish is professionally applied with the highest attention to detail. And as the wax soaks into the different grains and features, it enhances their look and brings them to life. The available colours are:

• Smoke Pine
• Medium Oak

When viewing on screen, colours can look different from one screen to another. This makes it less reliable than seeing the real finished timber before your own eyes. Because you want the perfect colour for your home these finishes are available to purchase as small samples. You can order your samples here.

Quick & Easy Assembly

Assembling the Whickham bed frame takes no time at all and is a very simple process. Here is a quick summary of how to do it:

1. Position the bed in the location you would like it to be in your room.
2. Place the 2 side rails on the floor near to where they will be joining the headboard and place the footboard at the bottom end of the rails.
3. Attach one end of one rail in to the footboard and then do the same with the other rail
4. From behind the headboard screw in bolts in to the side rail.
5. Repeat this with the other rail and make sure all is firmly in place.
6. Place the slats into the grooves on the side rails.

It's that simple and all you need to do next is add your mattress and bedding.

Care & Clean

Daily care of your Funky Chunky Furniture piece is really simple. Watch our 30 second video to find out more.

Your furniture will come with plastic "feet", please use these on the bottom of your new furniture to protect your flooring. You will need to make sure that any hard flooring (which includes wood, laminate and vinyl flooring) is completely dry and free from chemical residues before putting your new furniture into place.

As this is a natural wood product with a wax finish any applied force, and friction, can cause the wax to transfer onto surfaces.

If wax transfer does occur we may be able to recommend products to help remove or reduce the appearance of the transfer.

However, we cannot be held responsible for any such incidents, or the use of any products we may suggest. Get in touch with our customer services team for advice.

Future Maintenance with Wax Care Packs

We have wax care packs available to keep your furniture and shelves looking their best. They are a great to use every few months to make your piece look brand new all the time.

They're also brilliant for fixing damage. Order your wax care pack here.
