    I can't comment on those two retailers but, if you are in the south, I can recommend A World of Furniture.

    They have stores in Blandford, Poole, Salisbury and Southampton.

    We have purchased a few items (not beds) from the Southampton store and are very pleased with them.

    They are better quality than OFL with sensible prices.

    Good luck


    I have bought a number of items, including a double bed, from the Salisbury store and also found them to be decent quality and sensibly priced.

    I recently bought 2 large wardrobes made to specification from https://akdfurniture.co.uk/ - they are very nice and well made. They have quite a good range on their website but will also copy designs or make things to your own design. Price-wise they were very competitive compared with similar quality items from retailers.

    And you're Peter Duncan; I gave you fair warning
