ETA - thank you all for the bed suggestions. I feel a little less clueless now.

I would be nervous about getting something like this that has the wood sticking out around the edge. The pictured bed is like $1,500. With beds, dining chairs (b/c they get pulled in and out and people scoot in them) and cabinet-type furniture (bookshelves, anything with drawers) I worry more about the joints being put together well. When I was looking for furniture, I saw some at storehouse that I thought looked pretty but it was almost like it was stapled together. I got something that has those interlocking joints; there's some other way that is quite strong too.

Motherfucker, I just realized I loaned my "important aspects of furniture buying" book to someone who subsequently moved. Grrrr.

ETA It sounds like I hate and am criticizing this bed -- actually I like it and was posting it as a suggestion or something. I love looking at furniture.

Another piece I can't afford.

I ask myself this when I get home, every day.

Obviously, I do too. Once upon a time, I thought I wanted to be an antique dealer or a designer, and then I realized I just like buying furniture. The pain in the ass of running a business and actually selling the stuff I could never do. And if my clients now are a pain in the ass to deal with because they don't like my legal opinions, I can only imagine what design clients who have no taste would be like.

More pieces you can't afford?

that's a nice bed. And good point. With all the cartwheel-turning and acrobatics I get up to during sex, it is important to have a strong bed.

To remove the picture from the quote.

Hm. Come to think of it, I might have added the second heh. What can I say? I'm OCD.

I would have to put baby bumpers on those corners, although I am not so much an acrobat as a klutz.

While there is a funny aspect to having a bed partially fall apart while fucking someone,* there's the unfunny side that when connected wood pieces become partly unconnected, and there's activity going on that stresses them, they can break.

Someone could have a lot of fun with this post . . .

*trust me, this wasn't athletic fucking.

I would, but the same damned thing happened to me. We moved to the floor and continued. The bed was repaired the next day.
