All Black King Size Cast Iron Hamilton Solo Bed: Pros: Sales; Usual pleasant patter. Delivery; Arrow, Spot on. Price: Think it should be cheaper! Width & Length: Good Height; Choice of 2 Levels. Building Bed Frame; Almost 3 hrs from packaging to built. Optional to paint bed in your chosen colour; £89 (Promised me a small pot of same paint in case of any chipping) : Never received it! Albeit, mine came out deep grey instead of bluish black. Cons: Bed is Not remotely akin to Original Antique. I just got rid of my Broken Antique Cast Iron Double; 120 yrs old Black/Brass. Comparisons: My Old Bed: 4 Posts were thinner; more refind. Had Wheels on ends All Black Mouldings were deep carved and clear. The Head & Foot Boards were much heavier/solid 4 Egg Shaped Brass Finials Building it: Took 10 minutes; Hooking System. Original Bed Company Bed: Cast Iron: Far lighter in weight! Mouldings: Surface only; poor. Bed Posts: Awful! Far too thick/broad, Clumsy looking, just huge! Finials huge too. I screwed my old Antique Egg Shaped Brass Finial on instead of the Balls. My Antique Egg finials looked completely lost on these posts. Gutted! Wooden Slats: No choice; Arched only, not Flat. £200 to replace them too! No Side Rail hooking system: Instead, this bed has black brackets with large shiny silver, not black, screws, which can all be seen if not hidden by a duvet! The footboard and headboard have to have centre metal rods put through them to strengthen the foot and head boards. Unusual! I think that's about it! Mainly Just gutted at being told it was akin to an original when nothing really like it at all! If the 4 Posts were made slimmer it would improve the overall appearance of the bed for sure! Sadly, a Great Disappointment!
