Pine Beds- What To Look For

When you are looking for a new pine bed you need to focus on what you want for your money.
Are you looking for the cheapest possible bed no matter what the quality?
Are you concerned whether the wood is from sustainable sources?
Do you want the bed to be delivered and built for you?
Do you want any customisation?
Quality is a big issue. Many of the beds available on the high street are made of inferior quality thin timber from unsustainable sources and transported from countries in Asia. They also frequently have poor fixing methods, relying on un-mitred joints with thin weak bolts which will pull through the thin wood. This means they are prone to breakage or splits, have enormous carbon footprints and when they do break the whole bed has to be returned to the shop for refund or replacement resulting in wasted time, frustration and an even more vast carbon footprint. The answer is to look for a locally built product that uses sustainable timber and will respond to any problems you have quickly. They may well be able to build the bed in your home for a small or even no charge. A local firm may well be able to alter bed height, headboard height or design, add features or change the finish again at low or no extra cost.
