Any recommendations?

Lots of metal ones but fewer wood, we'd like wood really.

we just bought the farringdon high sleeper from Aspace - comes with a wardrobe and desk and on sale for £895. Still expensive but if you priced getting a bed plus stand alone wardrobe and desk, it's pretty good I think and it looks lovely. Very solid feel

We bought a Stompa midsleeper Bedsruz , it has been great until now (had it since june)

But recently the rails that the drawers run on have started to fail, we ordered a replacement part but when I fixed that I realised that rather than one rail on the drawer both sides had gone spent ages cobbling together bits from the two ends to make a useable part. 24 hours later another drawer rail had gone ! (Ball bearing out all over the drawer below and poor slide action.).

Although the customer service from bedsrus was great (replacement part in 48hours). I'm becoming less impressed with the stompa product.

HTH

Thanks both. We were looking at bedzrus (or whatever they're called).

Aspace stuff very lovely but beyond our budget I think

Look up FLEXA beds on ebay. Really high quality wooden beds that can be bunk beds, cabin beds, loft beds, single beds all by changing sizes of legs. Sell a kidney price to buy new but relatively cheap (we paid £100 for bunk beds) secondhand and will last forever.

thanks

Hi hope you do not think this is too cheeky
I am selling a mid height pine Flexa bed. It is in very good condition, has a pullout desk, that can also be used separately .Also included is a four drawer chest , a bookcase,and bedside chest with 3 drawers.

It is a brilliant make and we are only changing it because my son is growing too tall to sit up in bed ! Pm me if you are interested.

We also bought a secondhand Flexa just before Christmas. £60 in Friday-Ad.... definitely consider buying secondhand - it's something they grow out of relatively quickly.

Thanks Madon but we want one of those really high bump-your-head-on-the-ceiling ones.
