Upholstered bed for a 2 yo boy --) crazy idea??
Comments (17)Thanks for all the advices ! I'm glad that there are some who agreed with me because most people think I'm totally crazy when I told them a/b the idea. :-) I think it would work if I cover the whole headboard in a vinyl type fabric (thanks evaf for the idea), then put the slipcovers over it. I can make the slipcovers in ultrasuede for the winter, sunbrella for the summer. These fabrics are pretty indestructible. DH still wants me to explore the wooden bed option so I will humor him and look at some other beds, but I'm pretty sure I would end up w/ an upholstered bed. With my 1st DS, I did all the typical kids room: mural, car bed, bed w/ slide, theme room, etc...and now I just want a fun & functional, comfortable, & sophisticated room. :-) ksw: thanks for the pix of that beautiful inspirational room....See MoreUpholstered bed quality
Comments (11)I have R&B's upholstered Ella bed (steel legs). I've had it maybe 10-11 years, and I bought the mattress from R&B, too. There are several sturdy metal slats supporting the mattress, and I wasn't aware there was a board you could get. But I don't know if I'd even feel a difference. Someone on the R&B site commented that it makes it easier to change the sheets. I did see one mention of "wobbly legs," and I wonder if that was a result of too-fast assembly (I had a delivery guy who attached a front leg in kind of askew manner, which was very noticeable from the steps up to the bedroom. I think I made him redo it twice). I also think that the furniture in the showroom is like the mattresses you see in mattress stores: They've been jumped on, rolled on, sat on at the edges, so things that might've been tight and firm at one point are probably less so now. A R&B repair guy was sent out to adjust my bed's front 2 legs a couple of years ago when my painters moved the bed, after being told not to (I'd already put it on sliders to nudge it away from the wall), and the legs tilted a little bit again. He came within a week of my call, no charge, did a good job. And that was long after a regular store warranty probably would've covered that. That was good customer service, in my book. (Before buying my bed, I looked at an upholstered one at Z Gallery, which is in a mall not too far from me. If there's one near you, you might want to check out what it has on the showroom floor. Prices weren't too bad...)...See MoreBallard's Louisa Upholstered Bed: Anyone Have It?
Comments (14)CF, i have a couple of things from Ballard and i would say their quality is B to B-. But, the cost is also B to B-. I do have a 7 ft long console table of theirs that is top drawer. They dont manufacture much if any of their own furniture so quality varies with their sources. The console is def an outlier. Thats why i am soliciting opinions here about the bed. It's about $1750 including shipping, which i think is extremely reasonable for a full size bed. Still considering!...See MoreUpholstered bed? Platform vs. panel bed
Comments (7)That's really frustrating! Below is a link to Ethan Allen's platform beds. There are many custom options for you, including nailhead trim, diamond or boxed tufting or smooth finish, platform beds with or without storage underneath, wood finishes (when applicable), contrasting piping, thousands of fabrics and a hundred leathers to choose from, and working one on one with a designer to complete the details of your new bed. Let me know how I can help, through Ethan Allen's gorgeous offerings.
