Elliott’s Designs Metal Beds

Elliott’s Designs Metal Beds

When purchasing a metal bed the two top preferences are style and design. Although sleek metal beds are a much fashionable design option among urban inhabitants, the more ornate designs and intricate finishes can help to create that romantic master oasis. The magnificent finishes offered in antique finishes are just one of the features that make these metal beds such chic sleep solutions.

Elliott’s Designs metal beds offers a unique collection of fine antique replica metal beds. Elliott’s Designs metal beds offer museum quality authenticity and some of the design cues are taken from the brass and iron beds from the Victorian Era but offered in today’s popular sizes. Many of the metal beds are of higher quality than the originals. The Art Deco, Traditional, Art Nouveau, and Edwardian design periods are also shown from Elliott’s Designs.

The highest quality heavy gauge steel tubing and sold rods are used when constructing these metal beds in order to attain added strength and the secure feel of the antique bedstead. Actual brass is used in the metal beds where brass accents account for the fundamental characteristic of the particular style but brass-plated steel is never used for these brass accents. Each and every one of the castings is hand detailed and hand poured using a special aluminum allow for high precision and structural integrity. Just like the original antiques, the castings on these metal beds are structural joints and are not purely decorative. Elliott’s Designs metal beds are offered in 30 custom finish options. The finishes are applied electrostatically then baked to ensure a lifelong radiant finish. Finally, these metal beds are proudly made in the USA.

Student Lofts

Student Lofts

Student lofts address the necessity for superior storage solutions for youth bedroom furniture. Space-saving furniture like student lofts offers practical and innovative storage solutions. Due to the size of most youth bedrooms, vertical chests are perfect for efficiently utilizing small bedrooms and by going vertical more floor space is left. Student lofts are one of the most multipurpose study, sleep, and storage solutions.

Shown above is a student loft in natural finish which encompasses design features such as front and back dovetailed drawers, routed drawer fronts, birch hardwood construction, and bead-board moldings.

Here is the same student loft in white finish.

Here is the same student loft in pecan finish.

Finally, here is a student loft in a warm cocoa finish which boasts hardy, traditional profiles of classic mission designs with the same features as the student lofts shown above.

The top bed as well as the bottom bed of the student lofts has wood slat rolls thus doing away with a box spring. All of these student lofts can be ordered with or without the lower bed. Each features a vertical storage chest with 5 drawers, bookcase shelving, desk with a pullout keyboard tray and 3 desk drawers. The chest with shelves and the desk can be placed on either side depending on what the preference is. If the student loft is ordered without the lower bed, then the desk can be turned inside. The bottom bed features casters for easy mobility. The top bed features guard rails.

How is the quality of these student lofts? Here are some quality features in greater detail:

The bottom bed as well as the top bed from the student lofts feature metal bracket supports on ends so the barrel bolts rest on metal and not wood thus reliving some of the pressure on the wood.

Shown here are the actual barrel bolts about to be inserted into the bracket supports.

Both beds of the student lofts have a slat roll with canvas stretchers and 2 screws per slat. By having a slat roll the box spring is not needed. The slat roll acts as the actual box spring.

The drawer fronts and backs of the student lofts are English dovetailed. The English dovetailed joint is the strongest joint that can survive the constant pull of opening and closing the drawer repeatedly for years to come.

The drawers are center supported as well as corner blocked for added reinforcement.

5 part drawer box construction with the front panel screwed, not staples or glued, to the drawer box.

Side-mounted, metal drawer guides with automatic drawer stops.

Each student loft features a pullout keyboard tray.

Contemporary Furniture

Contemporary Furniture

Textured leathers, animal prints, metal hardware, graphic patterns, and high-contrast veneers create a bold, visual panache and are all a part of a unique furniture style. When it comes to contemporary furniture, it’s all about the shape, mix of materials, and colors. The unique designs of contemporary furniture can also break all the rules of symmetry. Today’s contemporary furniture doesn’t cause a media frenzy as much as Scandinavian Modern did in the 1950’s or as much as 1980’s designs. Today’s contemporary furniture, although still trendy and distinctively leading edge when it comes to design, is a bit more demure than in the past in contrast to the designs that rocked the 1950’s.

The timeless Barcelona chair is an ideal example of enduring contemporary furniture design. The functional design of the iconic Barcelona chair was made with the teamwork of the famous Bauhaus architect, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Lilly Reich. The inspiration for the chair came from the functional folding chairs of ancient times. At first, the Barcelona chair was constructed to simply be bolted together. However, in 1950 stainless steel was used for the frame, thus giving the chair a smoother look. Pigskin was used on the original Barcelona chair but later cowhides were used. This contemporary chair received considerable attention when it was introduced and today there is still a rising degree of interest for this chair.

First introduced in 1948, the Noguchi cocktail table, designed by the famous sculptor Isamu Noguchi, hides nothing and exposes everything about the nature of minimalism. It is a perfect example of practical contemporary furniture design and it set out to redefine typical cocktail tables. Two curved solid wood furniture pieces join to form a stand and a .75 inch clear glass stands on top. Although it looks fragile, it disguises tremendous strength. The notion of less is more applies to this table. As Noguchi said, "Everything is sculpture. Any material, any idea without hindrance born into space, I consider sculpture." One of the most illustrious examples of contemporary furniture of the last century can be seen today in offices as well as private homes.

Introduced in 1956, the comfortable Eames lounge chair and ottoman were designed by Ray and Charles Eames and features classical contemporary furniture design elements. The chair is basically three curved plywood shells with cushions covered in leather. The backrest and the headrest of the chair move. The seat swivels on an aluminum base. The Eames lounge chair and ottoman set out to redefine seating with a unique design and comfort that caters to one and all. The chair together with the ottoman is the perfect combination of function, style, and comfort.

Today’s contemporary furniture is going “green” as well and this will be a priority in the future eco-consciousness. However, the trend is still in its infancy, but many manufacturers, including contemporary furniture manufacturers, are turning to sustainable materials or recycled materials for their products. Several organizations assist furniture manufacturers to adopt sustainable business practices. Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is one of them and is dedicated to responsible forest management. FSC instituted an array of forest management practices and their certification program guarantees that the whole production chain, from cutting trees to actual manufacturing, conforms to the utmost standards of forest management. The movement toward environmentally friendly furniture is beginning to take hold and if your next contemporary furniture purchase is FSC certified, you can be assured that all the trees used to make that furniture came from managed forests.

Today’s contemporary furniture design elements offer innovative lifestyle environments and a wide range of categories for bedrooms, dining rooms, living rooms, accessories, and more. Contemporary furniture is one of the easiest ways to inject a note of exhilaration, sophistication, and vision into any room. There is nothing quite like an intricate geometrical pattern of an area rug to give a revitalization to a predictable room scenery. Customization is and will be another hallmark of contemporary furniture allowing consumers to select dimensions, finishes, fabrics, leathers, or any attributes they desire. Contemporary styled furniture continues to be popular among young and old consumers and shows no sign of slowing down any time soon.

We chose walnut, which was used heavily in Mid-Century American furniture – it’s a dark wood, with its own warmth and color. There’s little metal, except for the hardware, with is brushed nickel. There are some Scandinavian elements, but mostly the group is late 1940s/early 1950s Dunbar.”

• American walnut veneers.
• Natural finish wood drawers.

12 Months, No Interest, No Payment Furniture Financing

FOW proudly offers 2 easy payment plan options for furniture financing: 6 months interest-free financing and 12 months interest-free financing. Once approved, the promotional period will start as soon as you receive your merchandise. There are no minimum payments required but you must pay the purchase price in full before the end of the promotional period. Each month CitiFinancial will mail you your monthly statement which will show the most current balance. If you pay the purchase price in full within the promotional period, no accrued interest will be due, but if you don’t pay the purchase price in full during the promotional period, all of the accrued interest will be charged.

So what exactly does all of this mean in layman’s terms? What exactly is interest-free furniture financing? What is a no payment furniture plan?

Let us discuss 12 months, no interest, no payments when it comes to furniture purchases. The 12 months is obviously the duration of the promotional period of your purchased furniture. The interest-free or no interest means that if you pay off the balance owed within the 12 month period, you don’t pay any of the interest. That’s right. You pay zero interest. However, if you fail to pay the balance owed within the 12 month period, all of the accrued interest will be charged to your account. The no payments does not mean that you don’t pay anything within the 12 months. It means that there are no monthly minimum payments. You can pay the owed balance however you want. You could skip months but you must pay off the balance within the 12 month promotional period or you incur interest charges.

Leather Guide

When buying your next leather living room set, there are a few things you should take into consideration. Leather is much more durable than fabric and can withstand daily use much better. There are 2 types of leather hides that are split into two layers – top grain and lower grain leather. The lower grain is sometimes known as split. The split is a flesh piece that can be split further. Split leathers are usually used on the outside pieces of furniture (the sides and back of a sofa). Better leathers like top grain leather are somewhat warmer to the touch, are softer, and are usually slightly heavier. Protected leather living rooms can be an ideal choice if you have kids or pets.

There are 3 distinct finishes that are applied to leathers:

The protected leathers feature a heavier pigment that is usually opaque and coats the grain very consistently. These leathers are extremely stain resistant, durable, and are slightly cooler to the touch.

Semi-aniline leathers leathers are a combination of pigment and aniline. The combination of aniline and pigment enhances the uniformity in color. They offer stain resistance while remaining soft to the touch.

Fully aniline leathers feature a transparent, organic color and are much more delicate. Fully aniline leathers color the hide but don’t coat it completely. They’re not as stain resistant as pigmented leathers but are much warmer to the touch.

Serta’s foam encasement provides years of durable edge support.

The Anatomy of Quality Bunk Beds

Bunk beds are a great way to make the most out of a small children’s room. Start with a hardwood for the construction of the bunk bed. In this case it’s birch.

The bedrails have support brackets on ends so barrel bolts rest on metal, not wood.

Include steel pins for attaching the top bed to the bottom bed for maximum stability.

Include a slat roll that acts as a box spring and therefore eliminates the need for a box spring. The slat roll has canvas stretchers and features 2 screws per slat.

Guard rails and ladders are screwed or bolted to bed rails or bed ends and the bunk bed can be turned into 2 twin beds. The bunk bed also accepts the optional trundle.

Our bunk bed collections meet or exceed CPSC and ASTM standards.
