It’s official, in 2015, Four Poster Beds have replaced Pencil Post Beds as our top-selling product.

Pencil Post Beds are timeless.  John and Abigail Adams slept on a Pencil Post Bed.  There will always be a place for Pencil Post Beds.

Perhaps the modern, urban appeal of the four-sided tapered posts has pushed our Four Poster Bed to the top.   We introduced the Houston model in early 2014.  Jo and Mitch wanted a modern canopy bed for their Houston loft.  Shane designed the Houston bed just for them.

I posted a sneak peek at this Houston Four Poster Canopy Platform Bed for Rozzie in Texas to our Facebook page, and Linda Schirching commented:

“You made me a bed like this about 10 years ago and I absolutely love it. Every time I walk into the bedroom I look at it and smile. Rozzie you will just love this bed. It will be the best purchase you have ever made. Enjoy!”
