Design with drawers - an option for spacious bedrooms. As a rule, each box has a width that coincides with the frame, so their extension "covers" part of the floor in the room. This design is suitable for those who want to use the maximum storage space, as well as save time on cleaning the bed after sleep.Built-in boxes roll out on wheels or built-in metal runners. The first option is more compact and noiseless.
Classic beds
The design on the supports in the form of legs - a classic version of furniture for sleeping, inexpensive and easy to assemble. The height of the base of the bed above the floor level is adjustable when ordering a frame; such furniture looks more “airy”, leaving the floor space free.
