I believe I kept the greatest till last. This one is obviously on the more expensive side of things, but it is West Elm. But I’m expecting that the extra price will be accompanied by improved quality. The bed seems to be STUNNING in the photograph. I’d love to have this bed if it was within my budget since the fabric seems so comfy and high-end! This is something to look forward to hopefully in the future.
The Queen size, non-tufted, basic headboard, and ‘Sand, Twill’ fabric cost $999.
What I like most about West Elm and this bed is how customizable it is. The size ranges from a standard twin to a California king. The headboard may be tufted (Grid, Border, Horizontal, Vertical, Diamond) or non-tufted (matches all the beds mentioned above). You may choose between the Standard and Tall headboards (costing more). And the variety of materials and hues is mind-boggling, ranging from different performance textiles to Boucle. The last option is to have the legs in Light Bronze or Dark Pewter.
With all of these options, the price varies from $699 to $1,999, depending on your selections. Because this bed comes with hardwood slates, no box spring is necessary.
Their “White Glove Service” is another advantage that comes with the high-end pricing and quality. This comes at an extra fee, however the bed frame will be delivered to your house (in the room of your choosing), completely constructed, and all packing will be removed. The option is Doorstep Delivery, which includes bringing the item inside your house but excludes assembly and package removal.
