I purchased this item because 3 years ago I also purchased another of this designers beds and it is still going strong I love my bed which is a similar style to this one bought for my elderly brother who has moved into a sheltered living flat and it fits in perfect. Also bought another Emma mattress so I am sure he will have the best sleep ever tonight. Many thanks. It is a lovely bed and easy to clean underneath being so open. Absolutely love this and my previous purchase of the Julian Bowen beds.
