Product: Antique French King Size Bed  

From the first phone call to delivery Elena’s service was outstanding. We were encouraged to view our prospective painted vintage French bed and found the online photos were a perfect illustration of it in reality. It fitted into its new surroundings perfectly. [ Review via Trustpilot ]

Hi Elena, Just wanted to say a huge thanks for all your help with the slats. Here’s a photo of the bed back together. Thanks ever so much. We wouldn’t have been able to re-use my grandma’s bed without the slats so we’re over the moon.

Hi Elena, As promised, attached are some photos I took at the weekend showing before, during and after putting the base in. Hope they maybe useful.I decided to leave the original slats in place, I could have taken them out, but it would not have lowered the base that much. The small extra height was not a big deal and the original end slats (moved a little) provided the support for the new base all the way across at the head and foot (hope this makes sense). Our mattress is small double (4ft / 120cm wide and standard length).

Product: Adjustable Bed Base

You email is very timely as I have just fitted it. I’m so pleased with it, such a clever idea. We didn’t want to get rid of the old bed which has been in the family for many decades. Now it has a new lease of life.
