- What is the difference between a Jumbo and a Standard bed?
|
The side logs on standard beds
are roughly 5-6" in diameter and the headboad measures 52" tall. The
logs on jumbo beds measure 6-7" in diameter and the headboards are 60"
in height. 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. |
