 Ramblin
Wood Products are Eco-Friendly:
Today's consumer is much more aware of our environment and the impact
we can have on it by the choices we make both in our own lifestyles and
in the way businesses and manufacturers use and reuse our natural resources.
Ramblin Wood who manufacturers these wood products is committed to helping
preserve our environment for future generations by making products that
have a minimal environmental impact and made well so that replacement
products which use more resources won't be necessary. Every possible foot
of board in both wood and bamboo is used and unused pieces are recycled
by selling them to specialized home woodworkers rather than sending them
onto landfills. A natural hand rubbed Danish oil finish is used on all
of their products and after drying their products are safe, nontoxic and
odor free. Ramblin Wood has also found ecologically sound alternatives
to wood in the way of Bamboo. Bamboo is actually a grass that can be harvested
in 5 years, grows back or can be replanted quickly and will help to conserve
our natural hardwood resources. Bamboo is just as strong as maple which
is one of our hardest domestic woods. Both PlatformBeds.com & Ramblin
Wood are committed to moving towards positive green alternatives which
will help benefit both our environment and our planet. |

Information About This Bed:
The Pecos Lite Wood Platform Bed features no headboard that many folks find
useful if they're trying to simplify the makeup of a room or just looking
for a space saving bed. Because it has no headboard rising up above the
mattress it lends itself well to working with existing headboards that are
mounted to a wall and then sliding the Pecos platform bed right up beneath
the headboard. Due to its low design this makes it the perfect choice for
almost any bedroom including lofts or other rooms where taller furniture
just won't fit. Pecos Lite beds are by far the most simple and easy beds
to assemble. The bed frame slats consist of slats banded together for proper
spacing and include fourteen 2" wide slats and one 5" wide middle slat.
The legs of an Pecos Lite bed are 2"x2" wood posts. These beds are shipped
in a long narrow box or multiple boxes depending on the options selected.
A center support rail is used on all Twin, Full, Queen & King size beds.
Because these are solid wood beds they do not make use of center support
legs. Center support legs can be ordered optionally if a specific manufacturer
states these must be present and are required to meet the warranty requirements
of their mattress. However they are not necessary for the structural integrity
of these beds as they are utilizing premium quality hardwoods and materials. |

is a hard and heavy wood with medium bending strength and has a high crushing
strength. A good wood for steam bending. High resistance to wear. Oak represents
almost 37% of total American hardwoods commercially used. Cut oak dries
very slowly. Oak does machine quite well and can be nailed and screwed although
because of its hardness may require pre-boring due to the hardness of the
wood. Can be stained in a wide range of finishes. The wood is primarily
straight grained with a coarse texture. Oak is used in furniture, flooring,
millwork, paneling and cabinets. |

 Maple
Wood
Maple
is a hard and heavy wood that offers good strength especially in its high
resistance to abrasion and wear. Has good steam bending properties. Cut
maple dries slowly with a high amount of shrinkage which leads to smaller
yields of lumber per tree than the average tree. Pre-boring is recommended
when nailing and screwing maple wood. Machines and turns well and can be
stained. Maple has a close, fine, uniform texture and is generally straight-grained.
Maple is used in furniture, flooring, ballroom and gymnasium floors, stairs,
cabinets and doors. |

Bamboo
is a grass that grows very quickly and very tall that is found throughout
Asia and the Pacific Rim. Bamboo is considered a woody perennial evergreen
and is very hard. Cut bamboo stalks are made into bamboo boards which can
then be processed into any number of products. Bamboo is very strong which
makes it very useful in building and construction. Pre-boring is suggested
when nailing or screwing bamboo. Machines well and can be stained. Eco-friendly
material in that it grows back quickly after being harvested. Bamboo is
