Parkside Espresso King-size Bed

After a bad experience with a cheaper headboard only option (veneered cheap wood), it was a pleasure to get something delivered that was: -Well packaged and undamaged -Solid wood that was nicely finished (no press board, particle board, yeah!) -Relatively easy to assemble if you can get an extra set of hands for 10 minutes and aren't afraid of screw drivers -Offers good support from a slat system (must use a box spring) -Durable build and feel All in all, a fine purchase. I guess you get what you pay for,. from a comparison shopping point of viewI have seen similar items for $800/$850 in other catalogs. The only negative, which is really a testament to my own clutziness, is that the footboard extends a little beyond the bracket and mattresses on either side. This makes it have a nice look, but it can be easy to catch a toe or knee coming around the edge of the bed to quickly. I am sure we will eventually remember. One note, the leather upholstering on the headboard is to our taste and well done, but it should be mentoned this is not a soft/supple leather. It is not rough, but it is not the super plush softest leather. In our eyes, this was a bonus for durability; others may whant somethings super soft.
