Dear Shane and Kandas,
We love our bed! Thank you for all the many hours you took in crafting it. We get to sleep on a work of art each night!
The finish is gorgeous – smooth to the touch. The lines are simple and smart. It has a vintage and modern feel at the same time. It is the focal point of the room without being pretentious.
It assembled very easily – followed common sense. I keep looking down the hall into our bedroom and marveling at the beautiful bed standing where there was only a mattress on the floor. Quite the contrast. We were so used to sleeping on the floor that it took some adjustment to the new height when getting out of the bed in the morning. The first morning our alarm clock started beeping Hugh rolled out of bed to go silence it, but the floor was much further below his feet than he had groggily calculated. There was a loud thud and a startled Hugh (and me too). We’ve got the hang of it now.
Just a note to possibly help future clients: It is scary to send money electronically over the internet to someone you have never met ordering furniture that you have never seen. More communication and maybe even some emailed photos to let us know and see the progress would have made us feel more at ease about the many weeks and months without a tangible object for the money we spent.
We will gladly recommend you to anyone, but that would have been helpful from our point of view. We did spray paint the bottom bare wood slats brown on the ends because they show a bit when covers are pulled back. Now our eyes are not drawn to the new wood slats sticking out under the mattress but can enjoy the lovely lines of the whole bed. Thank you for the extra slats you included. We were able to place our mattress right on top of them without buying and cutting plywood. The plywood would have made the mattress rest too high off the side rails, I think, and probably would have been even more visible than the bed slats. I like what you did better. We are very delighted with our bed.
Thanks again,
Hugh and Renae Duncan
