What all four share
The Kingston, Key West, Verona and Bridger are built on the same Creden-ZzZ chest design. Each is a free-standing cabinet, so there is no bolting to the floor or wall. Each has the same 64 x 23 inch footprint and opens to 81 inches long.
All four have a flip-top, so the top can open without removing items from it first. Arason lists plenty of headroom on every model. Each comes with a custom tri-fold 6-inch mattress, a storage drawer for pillows or blankets, built-in USB charging with an electrical outlet, and a 500 lb weight rating.
The real differences are finish, drawer depth, how the power is laid out, a half inch of height (41.5 inches on the Kingston and Bridger, 42 on the Key West and Verona), and cabinet weight, which ranges from 240 to 264 lbs.
Kingston: wicker inlays and island style
The Kingston stands apart for its natural wicker inlays in warm amber and honey tones. Arason pitches it for beach condos as well as traditional homes. The hardware is described as ornate.
- 64 inches wide, 23 inches deep and 41.5 inches high; opens to 81 inches.
- Tri-fold 6-inch foam mattress on a solid sleeping platform with no springs or bars.
- Two USB connections and one electrical outlet, with the power outlet at the base on a 6-foot cord.
- Hidden latches and safety chains on the flip-top mechanism.

Key West: reeded front in whitewash
The Key West has the reeded style in a whitewash over oak and pine that lets the natural wood grain show through. Pick it if you want a light finish with visible wood grain.
- 64 inches wide, 23 inches deep and 42 inches high; opens to 81 inches.
- Constructed of solid wood and plywood, with robust hardware.
- Custom tri-fold 6-inch mattress hidden inside.

- At 264 lbs, it is the heaviest of the four.
Verona: the reeded style in warm brown
The Verona is the Key West's reeded design in a warm brown finish that shows natural wood features. Pick it if you like the reeded look but want a darker, more traditional wood tone.

- 64 inches wide, 23 inches deep and 41.5 inches high, tied with the Kingston as the lowest of the four; opens to 81 inches.
- Roomy 9-inch storage drawer that extends fully to form the base of the bed.
