It's summer time! Lots of people are getting married, moving to new homes, etc. Due to the unreasonable prices in BC. Many of us cannot afford a large living space but instead, have to opt for apartments or condos. Unfortunately, along with that comes needs for storage spaces! Seriously! What are they thinking when building closets? Do they think that people don't wear clothes anymore?
When struggling in small living spaces, practicality is the key when choosing furniture. However, it isn't always easy because the design, quality, price, size are also important aspects to be considered.
A client had inquired about buying a storage bed that I've recently purchased for myself. I've shared with her some information with her and feel that I might as well post on here for sharing.
Let's start of with the advantages of a storage bed:
~ You end up save $ because you are paying for 1 piece of multi-functional furniture which is usually way cheaper then buying 2 separate pieces.
~ Saves space (Remember your grandma/mom would put cracker boxes, suitcases under the bed?) You get an extra cabinet or closet without having to set aside more space for it!
~ Dust free (Make sure you purchase a storage bed that the storage part is enclosed)
~ Great for keeping rarely used items out of sight
~ Great for quick hidings of mess for unexpected guests
~ Bed is higher for easy get on and off
How to choose a good storage bed:
~ Good quality!! (I know cheap prices are attractive but safety and durability can't be overlooked). After all, no one plans to buy a new bed yearly so got to make sure it lasts for years and years! You will get what you paid for!
~ To get maximum benefit of "storage", avoid the ones with drawers
~ Buy from reputable company that offers warranty
~ Quality, stable Slat system (ribs) that the mattress sits on
~ Hydraulic arms for easy lift and stay lifted a must!
~ Enclosed storage area to keep dust out
~ Ease of changing bedding
*Be cautious about purchasing from the internet as you can't see the quality and may have problems with warranty plus service issues*
*When buying Leather furniture, ask if it's bicast leather (meaning fake leather). Most places would still call it leather but it's actually man-made)
This bed is stylish, safe, and best of all, AWESOME price!
It comes in neutral colors to easily match with any decor
Available in Queen size.
Easily assembled. (Video in the above link)
Secure hydraulic system
Large storage space from the height
StyleInForm - one of the largest furniture manufacturers owned and operated in Canada with a warehouse in Burnaby for the general public however, they only supply to furniture and designers. Awesome customer service. I've had a slight problem with a screw missing while installing myself. They sent someone out the next day with the missing piece and install it for me.

A similar look to the Sadie Storage bed but no storage and lower headboard: http://www.crateandbarrel.com/fu ... e-queen-bed/s665986

Another similar storage bed with shorter headboard and smaller storage: http://www.beds2love.com/?l=170&c=243
Reg $1799 on sale $1499

******************************************************************** The Sadie's retail price is $1600-1800 depending which store you buy from. Which is already a good price for such quality and style of bed. So for this bed, I can get it for $1450. (I am entitled to get a discount for my customers at any furniture stores or whole sellers)
Judging from the comparison above, the Sadie storage bed is absolutely worth it in terms of style and practicality. That's why I bought it!
