Like the storage option, but I'd be forever hitting my shins on the protruding bits of wood.

OH and I need a new bed - we are going to upgrade to a queen sized one, but we can't believe how expensive they are. Our base has drawers and we want similar, and a headboard. Think it may have to wait- hopefully not another 25 years - that is how long we have had this one, though the mattress has been changed a couple of times. We just don't have thousands of dollars to spare.

They are expensive, I have seen one I would like for us and it is a couple of grand

There is nothing quite so painful as having the wrong mattress.

Never had a problem with the wood but it is very low. The storage looks good but the drawers aren't very deep. I think it cost around £350 - £400. Could have had it cheaper,but paid more for better mattress. Anyway, he says he slept well last night

We were looking for queen size bed as well, nope I'm not paying what they want, I find mattresses are very expensive too.
We are also looking for coffee tables too, but can't find decent one at all.

Feeling OK today, and it used to be a good hospital, but now it's a PFI hospital run by money grasping sharks. Shame, damn' shame...

If you're a patient, it's like having your head banged for you, without any say in the matter. As a I say, a shame, as it used to be great, now, well, if you're really unwell, call the undertaker...

Fabulous, nothing better that a day with my best mate, shame I'm now at the airport waiting to fly back south Achieved a record today though, only rescheduled the cab to the airport once instead of the usual 4 or 5

Thanks for a good time Bernie, see you soon ........ one side of the world or the other
