Hi, we're moving out of the country and getting rid of some stuff.
My pride and joy is this antique Jenny Lind rope bed. It has the original hardware that connects the side posts to the head and foot boards. At some point in its history, the side posts were replaced to turn it into a slat bed. We just drilled new holes in the replacements. You might want to replace those side boards as there is some warping. The mattress is cotton ticking and filled with wool fleece, just recombed and carded last year.
This is extremely comfortable, and when you use the diagonal rope formation, it stays tight.
A steal at $250!
We're located in Niagara.
