I am guessing no. |
Date: March 20th, 2017 7:07 PM Author: LAPD officer on paid administrative leave Nope. It's all about the wood. Much better to find stuff at goodwill and paint it then it is to buy furniture at retailer store. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3559154&forum_id=2#32876189) |

I wouldn't buy a upholstered bed. Also for something like a bed, you don't put beverages and scratch the wood often (unlike a desk or dining table or coffee table) so I don't see the point of getting a nice wood bed. I honestly think IKEA bedframes work.
I find room and board to be nicer quality than c&b for similar prices. |
