I bought a wooden bed frame kit for $400 plus approx 70 to have it finished for a total of $469. The bed frame kit was crap. Consisted of 4 - 4" x 4" posts and some 2 x 4's Some of the 2 x 4's had been doweled on the end and 1-1/2" holes had been drilled in the posts to fit them into. The doweled ends had not been sanded, not had the rest of the wood for that matter. They slapped on a stain finish and that was it. If I use the thing... a big if... it will require quite a lot of sanding and then refinishing. I realize $469 is not a whole bunch of money but as a builder I know the value of the wood used may have been $50 max. They could have at least spent 30 mins and sand the rough doweled ends... as it turned out I wasted $469. They may have some other good products but beware of the bed kits.

The bed kit in this review was sold as a rough sawn post bed kit. The manufacturer of it does not sand the posts, otherwise the saw marks in the wood would have been removed and it would make the bed less rustic. Then it would just be smooth post non rustic bed. The doweled ends are not sanded either as they fit inside the wood and will not be seen/felt.
The wood may have cost $50, but then there is the labor of circle sawing the wood, cutting the wood to the correct lengths, tenoning the posts, drilling the holes in the correct areas, staining, finishing, packaging, shipping, etc. As a builder I'm sure Garry realizes this, but I wanted to pass it on to anyone else who may read this review.
We sure do appreciate Garry's comment on us having good products other than this particular bed kit which did not meet his expectations.
Thank you very much
