I would imagine it's a *************. No storage underneath, the leather is going to rip/get filthy before a year is up, you shouldn't have leather headboards anyway. Go to a thrift shop, they sometimes have decent queen bed frames for 150 or so, even brass ones for a little more. If you have to get a new frame don't get any upholstery or leather. Buy a simple headboard/footboard wood or metal frame and if it is high enough to allow storage beneath that's even better.

I see corrected grain leather. It's like the Kenneth Cole of beds.

My bed has a leather headboard, and yes, the ladies seem to dig it! As far as the leather getting ripped and filthy, i guess that depends on how you live and care for your possessions. I've had my bed for almost 7 years, and it looks as good as new, beacause I am a clean person and take care of my stuff, i wouldnt worry about it much, or the storage factor.

its almost the same, but like i said, i purchased it almost 7 years ago. Ill see if can find it online. I quit storing crap under my bed when I was a kid. And as far as the leather, i condition it like once a month. I thought that guys comment was weird. Doesnt he see how we take care of our leather shoes, why not everything else???

That's what i was figuring. I have enough Saphir renovateur for a couple years to make the bed last.

Why did someone think it was corrected grain?

Anyone have any other input or suggestions?

I think they were giving you a hard time for posting a bed under the mens closing thread!
