    $122,950 bed, is it real wood?

    Similar to the watch I linked to a week ago. ugly but I do not think as well made. No mention of species of wood.
    What is the five yards of C.O.M. for the headboard? maybe fabric?

    What a fine example of kitsch! Must have come from Liberace's yard sale.

    Did they add an extra 2 in there? I mean even if I had a spare $120K laying around there would be no way that ends up in my house.

    If they said they'd pay me $122,950 to keep this bed in my house my first two questions would be: 1) For how long?, followed by 2) Can I keep it in the attic or buried in the yard? To say that's horrid really doesn't suffice.

    There's a lot of expensive and ugly furniture on that site. Wonder how well the stuff sells.

    All I can imagine is a filthy rich 425lb jaba-the-hut type and VS level trophy wife who at the very least has her own wing in any of the numerous homes owned across the globe, or even more, lives completely separate in her own "wife home" lol. Annual conjugal visits may occur with enough DOM and diamond bracelets to numb the nausea. Yeesh. There is too much money in the world.

    You'd be surprised how nice these look in the appropriate setting. Granted, there aren't a lot of us with 1000 sq/ft bedrooms gilded in 50k worth of hand carved trim and 20k of drapery.

    Silly. That's all I can think to say.
    If at first you don't succeed, redefine success!

    Look at some pics of the State beds of Britain. Lavish and formal and beautiful. The problem with the op bed is not the cost ,it's the kitsch design. The columns have no entasis,just a straight taper. The flutes are too far apart . The bases look like old paint buckets. It has no framework for hangings. And this list covers no more than half its faults.

    Mark Twain, and his wife, bought a fancy antique carved bed in Italy. He claimed he slept in it facing the carved headboard so he could see what he had paid for.
