I recently moved a client who gave me three 4 post beds. Literally she gave them to me because she was going into an assisted living facility. These beds were hers, one was her daughters and one from the guest room. The bed in this listing was her bed. Back in the day this was a very expensive bed.
She has kept it in very good condition. There are a couple of flaws.
There are some typical scratches from wear and use. One post looks like it was once repaired. You can see this in a close up, it has a line in it.
This bed is not too tall which is nice. It makes it a little easier to bring up and down a stair case. This bed is designed for a split box spring.
I do not have the ratchet that this originally came with. However if you have a socket set a 9mm socket works perfectly. The worst of the scratching are areas that are very hard to see when a mattress and box spring are on. You can pick this up locally in Brookfield, CT.
You can hire your own shipper like a uship. If you are not in a rush for this you can hire my company to either deliver direct or meet somewhere near your home.
