Bonpierce's Profile

I've had the Anderson bed for about 15 years now. I just have a single level of drawers, no head board or side tables (those are butt ugly). With the single layer I have a box spring on top and then I have one of the adjustable air mattress on top of that. It is totally hidden by a bed skirt. The wood is ash and has proved to be very strong. It does not have a single defect after all this time. I stained it and assembled it myself. Very straight forward construction. The drawers still work great. My house is only 760 sq ', so storage is a premium. I store my less used items in it. Winter long johns and socks, my collection of place mats, a drawer full of cameras etc. The long drawer is where I keep all of my wrapping paper supplies. For my headboard, I have one from Ikea that also has storage in it. I keep extra pillows and blankets in there. It has a nice sloped back which looks nice and is perfect for reading in bed. By the way, I hate bed skirts, but I have a few simple box pleat ones that are nice and plain. If I had to actually look at the Anderson bed, I wouldn't like it so much.

That is one sharp looking knife!
