I ordered this bed sight-unseen, other than the online photograph, based on the excellent reviews of others here and also L.L. Bean's reputation for high quality products. The queen bed arrived promptly and I was not disappointed! This bed was well worth the $599 price tag and was easy to put together. It's a stunning bed and I love how the footboard curves just enough to give plenty of room for an oversized down comforter to fall neatly down the end of the bed. It's truly a gorgeous bed. Everyone who sees it has complimented it. I adore it. Thanks so much, L.L. Bean, for offering this well-made, sturdy, beautiful bed!
As there is no picture of what is delivered: • IRON BED FRAME SUPPORT (NO COLOR ASSIGNED) - (SIZE) • (SIZE) COTTAGE BED FOOTBOARD (COLOR) • (SIZE) COTTAGE BED HEADBOARD (I may try to upload picture ...)
I personally would never buy a bed frame online, but I purchased this cottage iron bed with the assurance that it would be much sturdier than any merchandise I had looked at in local furniture stores. I am very pleased to be using this in my guestroom. The headboard and footboard are of heavy quality and not flimsy. I can always count on llbean to come through with flying colors to return merchandise if not 100% satisfied and this would be no exception. Never in a million years, would I dream of sending this bed frame back because of cheap quality (upon opening it for inspection), it actually exceeded my expectations. The only negative comment, was that I tried to purchase just the queen size headboard without the footboard and it could not be purchased in queen size, only twin size with just a headboard.
We love this bed. It is exactly what we hoped for. It is quite sturdy and was very easy to assemble. We are using it in our guest room and it is lovely. We bought the dust ruffle with the crochet trim and the cute quilt with the ball fringe. It is a very inviting spot for guests and our cat seems to be enjoying it as well! We looked around locally and could not find anything of this quality at all. We will use this bed for a very long time.
