Leggett & Platt Fashion Bed Group Murray Platform Bed, Queen, Mahogany (Misc.)

Before we remodeled our bedroom, my wife and I had a very BIG, very boring, and very conventional bedding setup: A tall headboard attached to a massive queen-size mattress and box spring sitting on a metal frame, and a fabric skirt which hid the frame and all of our junk underneath it. A monolith, if there ever was one, and pretty much the over-priced 1,200 plus dollar QUEEN mattress set that every couple has bought in the past 20 years. And adding to the bulk, we both had our own end table on either side of the bed.There was two basic problems with this setup: 1) The tall headboard blocked one of the windows and 2) I got tired of having to reach over to her end table to turn off the noisy alarm clock after she had gotten up, and she got tired of having to reach over to my end table to get a magazine that I finished reading.And, to a lesser degree, this massive bedding setup overpowered everything else in our less-than-roomy bedroom.After living...Read more if (typeof amznJQ != "undefined") { amznJQ.onReady('jQuery', function() { amznJQ.available('popover', function() { var widgetDom = jQuery("#R18NH0RP856K7E_imageSection_02E78894-FF30-11E5-BE7A-3D99C44A90DD"); var images = widgetDom.find(".review-image-thumbnail"); for (var c=0;c

I was initially worried about buying a bed online. In saying that, I did A LOT of research on this model and company. There are other retailers out there that sell this series of beds, but I went with Amazon because of my experiences with Amazon. The bed came in 2 boxes weighing 83lbs total. The shipping was free, and arrived in under a week. Set up took less than 1 hour with my wife holding the side rails in place while i put it together. We are impressed with the mahogany finish, and this is REAL wood, not particle board. Hard to find real wood these days, let alone in the $300 range. It looks beautiful in our bedroom, and is just about the right height.It comes up to the back of knee-thigh area, so you can "sit" into bed. All in all this was a great purchase, quick delivery, ease of set up, real wood, great finish. Enjoy.
