Zen plus bed with lateral and frontal bookcase modules

Product characteristics

This version of the Zen Plus japanese bed is equipped with bookcases underneath the bed. Generally there are 3 modules, 2 on the sides and 1 in the front. 
For the french bed it's possible to have only one of the side modules and the frontal one, in case you wish to place the bed against a wall. This bed is also available as a single bed even though it's not possible to select that variant from here. For a single bed we usually advise to include only one bookcase along one side. The Zen Plus japanese bed with bookcase modules belongs to the category of Arpel bookcase beds.

Measures

Internal measures: variable. The bed with all 3 modules is available as a french, double or king size bed.
Single bed: ask for a price quote specifying if you want 1 or 2 side modules. Even though it's possible to add a front module as well, we tend to not reccomend it. 
External measures: 7 cm more than the selected internal measures. For example: the external measures of a bed with internal measures for a 160x200 cm mattress will be 167x207
Bed height: variable, we reccommend not to go under 35 cm 
Bookshelf height: A standard 35 cm high bed can contain books with a maximum height of 23 cm. The height can be enlarged by 5 cm at a time, this means it can progressively reach 40, 45 cm to contain books with a maximum height of 28, 33 cm
Bookcase depth: 20 cm
Length of the side bookcase modules: if the bed is without a Zen headboard and for a 200 cm long mattress, the length of the bookcases will be 157 cm and the available space for books is 153 cm. If the bed is with a Zen headboard and for a 200 cm long mattress then the bookcase will be 5 cm longer. (read below)
Length of the frontal bookcase module: variable. If the bed is for a 160 cm wide mattress then the bookcase will be 117 cm long and the available space for books will be 113 cm. For a double bed for a 180 cm wide mattress the available space for books will be 133 cm.
Custom: the mattress size, bed height bookcase depth are customizable. Ask for a price quote
Wooden headboard: this bed can be accessorized with a Zen model tilted headboard. the space taken up by the headboard in the bed is 5 cm. To mantain the selected internal measures we will therefore make the bed 5 cm longer at no extra cost. This means that a bed with a headboard selected for a mattress of 205 cm will have and internal length of 205 cm and an external length of 212 cm. As the headboard is slanted a bit outwards, it recommended to consider a total length of 218 cm.
External wooden headboard: it's possible to accessorize the bed with a tilted headboard that is attached to the head panel with Allen screws. The price is the same, just ask for this type of headboard when ordering. This headboard protrudes about 11 cm from the bedframe. Therefore, a bed with an internal length of 200 cm with this type of headboard will be 218 cm long.

Assembly

This bed belongs to the category of beds which do not use metal parts in the assembly. The modules instead require the use of metal parts and they are attached to the bedframe before adding the slats. The headboard must be inserted through specific grooves that run down the side panels or it must be screwed externally on the head panel, depending on the selected model.

Care and maintenance

If treated, the wood may be cleaned using only a damp sponge without solvents or detergents. If natural, it may only be dusted or vacuum cleaned.
