I've put a video because I found it hard to find a good real-life picture of the OBC Tulsk bed (superking) in the ivory colour. Took a slight risk in ordering it as I was unsure if it'd be too cream or shiny - so glad that it isn't. The paint job was the first thing that struck me - the paint looks luscious in its application, and you can see from the video it's near-white. We have another cast-iron/brass bed which has served us well for 20+ years, but this bed feels even sturdier, if that's even possible. Partly because the slatted frame is its own thing and it doesn't use the bed ends for its

I was a little skeptical about the quality of the bed initially as the price was fairly low in comparison to many similar beds on the market but their website won me over as well as all the positive reviews online. The bed is fantastic; super quality and really simple to put together unlike lots of cheaper priced beds that seem to have a million parts. I'd really recommend OBC and would 100% buy again.

We live in France and recently ordered two iron beds from the Original Bed Company, one of them custom painted. Every contact with the company was excellent, with prompt and clear responses to our questions. The company met all of their commitments and the beds arrived as promised. Properly packed and protected, both beds are superbly engineered. They were straightforward to put together with easy to follow instructions. There was even a small bottle of touch in paint for the custom painted bed. We couldn't be happier. Absolute recommendation.

Fantastic beds, great mattresses, superb service and an incredible price! The turnaround time was very quick! I got two diwan beds and a mattress from them back in June - got the second mattress from another supplier who failed to deliver after three months! Was really happy with the mattress from these guys and they were able to get the second mattress delivered in five days! Definitely recommend them!!
