About

Hello and welcome to French Country Furnishings.

Owned and operated by Glenn and Pearl Meville and assisted by our lovely sons Nathan and Dylan.  We are a furniture manufacturing company based out of Saskatoon, SK., Canada.

We design and build stylish solid wood bedroom furnishings that resemble the early era of furniture that was built to last generations. Simply put,  we are creating furniture to pass down through your family. We have been refinishing and painting old furniture for over a decade, and have always admired the detail and craftsmanship that went into making antique real wood furniture and realized how much it is missing in today’s mass production and big box store low quality pieces. We particularly have a fondness for antique beds and the grandeur and feel they introduce to a bedroom. The bed is the Statement that makes a room – the room. Your bed should always be the main focal point that demands attention… 

So we have now embarked on a mission to build beautiful beds that replicate the feel and look and the old style charm that antique beds evoked. Knowing that authentic antique beds came no larger than a double size, we NOW are bringing you Queen and King sizes to fit the modern world we live in.

We use only the finest of materials. These magnificent pieces are made from beautiful Maple hardwood and embellished with decadent wood appliques and hand assembled with care.

Your home is your castle, so why not sleep like royalty!

General Info

Our beds are crafted from beautiful solid maple hardwood and embellished by hand with gorgeous wood appliques. We assemble each bed with great care and rest assured we pay attention to every special detail.  Each order comes with a headboard, matching footboard, and wood side rails.  Assembly is quick and simple.  Our beds are designed to fit around a standard metal bed frame (not included).  See our Assembly instructions below. 

All our curved footboards are based on antique designs but have been modified to fit today’s modern mattresses with extra room to tuck in your luxurious bedding.

Your bed is made to order. This usually will take between 3-12 weeks depending on availability and the current order volume we are processing. In extreme situations this could be longer.  If you would like to know a more accurate time estimate, please contact us directly using the form below and include the style and size of the bed you’re interested in. 

We offer local pickup from our Saskatoon location, and personal delivery within a ~300km radius of Saskatoon, SK. for a fee.  We are happy to discuss shipping via transport company, or personal delivery to locations farther away for a fee.  Please contact us for further information.

F.A.Q.

Will you deliver my bed?

We are based in Saskatoon, SK., Canada. If you are in Saskatoon or the surrounding area (300km radius) we would be happy to deliver your bed personally to your doorstep for a fee. If you are located farther away, please contact us using the contact form below to discuss options. 

Do you ship via courier across Canada or worldwide?

We are in the process of securing a shipper and working on the logistics but currently we only offer local pickup and local delivery.  Please contact us using the contact form below if you are interested in having your order shipped via courier, and we may be able to discuss options, shipping costs, and timeframes.
 

What is included with my order?

 Each order includes one headboard, matching footboard, two wooden side rails, and assembly instructions.  Our beds are made to fit around your existing standard metal bed frame (not included)

How do I assemble my bed?

Place your assembled standard metal bed frame on the floor (with no box spring or mattress on it yet) where you want your bed to be.  Screw in the finials on the top posts of your headboard and footboard (if applicable).  If your footboard comes with turned legs, screw them in. Stand up your headboard and footboard.  Line up your included wood side rails with the included (already attached) brackets and screw it together into the pre-drilled holes with the included screws.
 

Do you have a store/showroom?

Not at the moment, but from time to time we may have finished display pieces in our workshop that you are welcome to come view. Please contact us to arrange a visit.
 

What is your return/refund policy?

Because your bed is a hand-made to order, unfortunately we can not accept returns or provide refunds.  
 

What payment options do you offer?

At checkout you have the option to pay in full up front, or choose a partial payment option for your convenience.  This partial payment is required for us to begin working on your bed and is non-refundable.  Once your bed is complete we will notify you, at which time we will require the remainder of your payment and you will receive your bed.  Through our website we accept major Credit Cards.  If you would like to pay via e-Transfer or pay with cash, please email us and we will create a custom order for you and arrange payment details.
