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!
