How do I choose the right size?

Check the internal dimensions of the frame rather than the outer measurements. Older continental sizes often differ slightly from modern standards. Verify whether the side rails accommodate standard mattresses or require custom sizing. Many vintage frames accept modern bases with appropriate slats.

Are these beds easy to assemble?

Most pieces utilise traditional slot-in or bolt-together side rails. They dismantle into manageable components for moving between rooms. Inspect the brackets and bolts to ensure all original hardware remains present. Professional delivery services can assist with heavy timber or iron structures.

How do I care for wooden frames?

Clean polished timber surfaces with a soft, dry cloth and apply occasional wax to nourish the grain. Avoid placing antique wood in direct sunlight or near heat sources. Protect painted or limed finishes from moisture by using gentle, non-abrasive cleaning methods. Check structural joints periodically to ensure stability.
