Introduction
In an era where mass-produced furniture dominates, nothing compares to the beauty and character of a reclaimed wood bed. For those who value craftsmanship, sustainability, and enduring design, a handcrafted rustic bed transforms any bedroom into a warm, inviting retreat. The Bedroom Collection by Workshop Detroit brings this vision to life with stunning bed frames, headboards, footboards, and nightstands—all made from sustainably sourced reclaimed wood and designed to last for generations.
Whether you are remodeling your master suite or creating a cozy guest room, this collection offers timeless style, heirloom quality, and unmatched individuality. Each piece in the collection is handcrafted in Detroit, USA—infused with the history of urban reclaimed materials and built with meticulous attention to detail.
Why Choose a Reclaimed Wood Bed?
A reclaimed wood bed is more than just furniture—it’s a statement about your home’s aesthetic and values. These beds are made from wood salvaged from deconstructed homes and buildings, allowing old-growth timber to find new life instead of ending up in a landfill. The result is unique furniture with natural variations in grain, color, and texture—features that simply cannot be replicated by conventional materials.
Here are the core benefits of choosing a reclaimed wood bed:
- Sustainable appeal: Made from 100% reclaimed wood, reducing environmental impact.
- Handcrafted excellence: Built by skilled artisans in Detroit.
- Unique character: Every piece tells a story through its distinctive wood grain and history.
- Lasting durability: Designed to withstand everyday life while improving with age.
With timeless design and a nod to artisanal quality, these beds elevate any bedroom setting—modern or traditional.
Signature Pieces from the Bedroom Collection
The Leland Bed – Complete Reclaimed Wood Bed Frame
One of the standout pieces in the Bedroom Collection is The Leland Bed—a reclaimed wood bed that blends bold presence with refined craftsmanship. Handcrafted from reclaimed urban lumber, this complete bed frame includes a headboard, footboard, and sturdy frame designed to bring warmth and elegance into your space.
The design features:
- Heavy-duty solid reclaimed wood construction for both durability and character.
- Substantial posts at the headboard and footboard framed by horizontal planks that create a balanced, elegant silhouette.
- Steel frame supports and wood cross slats for long-lasting stability.
- A low-luster polyurethane finish that enhances the natural beauty of the wood.
- The Workshop Legacy Stamp, indicating the original address from which the reclaimed lumber was salvaged.
This handcrafted rustic bed is more than just a sleeping solution—it’s a centerpiece that imbues your room with character and history.
Custom Options & Lead Time: The Leland Bed offers customizable sizes and finishes, catering to your space and design preferences. Typical lead time is approximately 10 weeks, as each bed is made to order.
The Leland Headboard and Footboard Sets
For homeowners who already have a bed frame or prefer modular design, the Leland Headboard and Footboard sets are excellent choices. These pieces embody the same handcrafted character as the complete Leland Bed but offer flexibility in how you outfit your bedroom.
Key features include:
- Solid reclaimed wood construction with visible grain and aged texture.
- Bold wood posts and horizontal planks that harmonize strength and sophistication.
- A durable finish that preserves and enhances the wood’s natural beauty.
By choosing the headboard and footboard individually, you can pair them with your own bed frame, creating a custom look that complements your interior without sacrificing cohesive design.
Standalone Headboards for Versatile Style
If you want a signature piece without changing your entire bed frame, standalone headboards provide an elegant upgrade. Workshop Detroit offers reclaimed wood headboards like the Leland Headboard (classic rustic appeal) and the Avenue Headboard (a modern twist with steel accents).
Leland Headboard

Nightstands: The Perfect Complement to Rustic Beds
No rustic bedroom is complete without equally beautiful bedside pieces. Workshop Detroit offers both single and pair nightstand options designed to match your reclaimed wood bed.
- Leland Nightstand: A handcrafted piece designed for practical storage and rustic style.
- Leland Nightstand Duo: Provides symmetry and generous storage alongside your bed.
These nightstands continue the collection’s aesthetic with warm wood tones, visible grain patterns, and thoughtful construction that ensures durability and timeless appeal.
Craftsmanship and Sustainability at the Core
What makes these reclaimed wood beds truly extraordinary isn’t just the materials—it’s the craftsmanship behind each piece. All bedroom furniture from Workshop Detroit is handcrafted in their Detroit fabrication shop using materials salvaged from local houses and structures. This approach not only preserves the character of old-growth wood but also supports sustainable woodworking practices that reduce waste and celebrate the beauty of history.
Each furniture piece carries a Workshop Legacy Stamp, a unique mark that notes the street address where the wood was reclaimed—connecting your home to a tangible piece of Detroit’s past.
How to Care for Reclaimed Wood Beds
Maintaining the beauty of your reclaimed wood bed is simple:
- Regular dusting with a soft, dry cloth keeps surfaces looking fresh.
- Avoid harsh chemicals; use mild soap if cleaning is needed.
- Protect from excessive moisture to ensure the finish remains in top condition.
With proper care, these handcrafted beds age gracefully, developing even richer character over time.
