A Wrought Iron Bed Can Make You Go Back in Time

In today’s world of synthetic, cheaply made furniture, there is nothing better than a wrought iron bed to reminisce on how things were. Don’t get me wrong, I am not a brittle old guy. I’m essentially in my mid-20s, and in lots of ways I find irresistible high tech things. I use up a lot of time on my computer surfing the Net, I play electric guitar, I have a cell phone and an I Pod. However, my most treasured possession is my wrought iron bed frame.

I have seen many wrought iron beds in my life, but this one is actually stunning. It is precisely what you would think of when you make an effort to create in your mind a wrought iron bed. It is as big and decorative as your characteristic wrought iron fence, in fact. It is sturdily made with flourishes, flowers, and big iron lion’s feet at the base. It has in reality been in my family for generations. My father alleges that it was a invaluable antique, but my mother says that he is just being ridiculous. She says that there are thousands of wrought iron bed frames just like this one out there, and it is not worth anything except it is of over-romantic value.

Whichever one of them is right, I adore that wrought iron bed. I believe it has to do with how it seemed to me when I was a child. Most families begin with furniture for kids, but in my family we have for ever and a day used the identical bed frames since we were very small. That part of wrought iron bedroom furniture really impressed me as a toddler. I essentially thought the wrought iron bed was a stronghold. I would sit on top of it for hours, playing with my toy knights and imagining to be defending from a siege. I would battle make-believe armies, throwing small toy figures off the bed and acting as if that they were catapult stones until my mom would come in and make me go to sleep.

The thing I like best about that wrought iron bed now is how steadily made it is. It’s not that other beds are badly made, but I am grateful for the fact that I can sit on the side of it and it doesn’t squeak one bit. The frame is totally hard and will be totally hard for more than a life time. You just simply do not get quality like that any longer in most customer products.
