- What is the difference between a Jumbo and a Standard bed?
|
The side logs on standard beds are roughly 5-6" in diameter.
The logs on jumbo beds measure 6-7" in diameter. This allows
individuals to pick the size of bed that most fits their tastes.

- What does the box spring and mattress sit on?
|
There are 3 available foundations (in order of popularity):
1) The standard metal frame.
2) Underdrawers.
3) Bed Slats.

- Why aren't slats part of a standard bed?
|
There are 3 main reasons why we do not include slats:
- By not offering slats as a standard we reduce the price of all of
our beds by about $50.
-
Along with reason #1, we have found that often
times customers already have a metal frame to fit their desired
bed size. By not including slats or a frame into the price, we are
able to provide our beds at the best available price.
-
The majority of our beds are sold for use with
a metal frame or underdrawers. Since everyone has their own preferences,
we leave that decision to each individual. The price of slats are
found on the individual bed size pages.

- What are the pros and cons of slats?
|
PROS: For those who like a mattress that sits high
the underdrawers are an excellent option; however, slats provide a
more economical alternative. Another benefit is the area under the
bed can be utilized for storage if desired.
CONS: If skirting is desired to cover the area under
the bed, slits in the material are required in order for it to pass
over the slats. With a metal frame, any comforter or quilt will achieve
a nice clean look. Slats also require additional labor in regards
to setting up the bed.

- What is the difference between Flat-panel and Half-log?
|
Flat-panel and Half-log refers to the drawer front and door
style of each product consisting of these components. Flat-panel drawers
and doors are just that - flat surfaced finish work. On the other hand,
Half-log drawer fronts are three small logs laminated together and shaped
to form one drawer front. Half-log doors are flat-paneling wrapped in
log trim. The Half-log option is very popular among those who prefer
a darker, more rustic look.

- What type of drawer slides are used for the drawers?
|
Our drawer slides are sturdy, full-extending ball-bearing
drawer slides (chrome) with "stop and catch" features. These
ensure children cannot pull the drawers out and they will "catch"
to stay shut.
