Hey! Does anyone know anyone who can make some wood panels for me? Will to pay for raw materials+labour.

I want this bed but they won't ship the panels to canada. Basically I need:

3 Bed Panels: 90.5” x 27.5” x 6.5” and weighs 105 lb.
2Queen Headboard Panel: 73.5" x 25" x 2.5" and weighs 29 lb.

3 Bed Panels:

Min. Recommended Length (for each panel) 86"

Max. Recommended Width (for each panel) 30"

Recommended Thickness (for each panel) 1.5"

1 Headboard:

Recommended Thickness (for each panel) 1.5"

I can get the framework from the manufacturer but i have no idea where to start looking for someone to do this project for me. ;-;

Edit: after looking at the dimensions, the 6.5inch thick board doesn't look right. fixed the actual dimensions

The cost of getting this custom made will be much more than the cost of buying it retail.

My suggestion is to try shippsy - deliver to the US and they bring it to Toronto. Very modest fees + duty and hst.

If you do want something custom for lots more money, feel free to check out our work at junctioncarpentry.com
