    Tim Tim Tim :rolleyes: I don't want 4'6!!! I want a 5 footer. I've found plently even CHEAPER but they aren't Nickel plated. This for example. Its important it has a highly reflective finish.


    Come on Tim, find us a bed..... :D

    Hey you didn't say 5'.......where's my prize??

    The bed you show in the link is Chrome plated. Technically this is nickel as part of the chrome plating process is to nickel plate it first then chrome passivate. However a nickel finish isn't quite as silver and shiny as the chrome bed shown.

    Leave it with me and I will try and find you a 5' one.

    By the way, google 'visage chrome bed'

    Ok then chap, heres the shortlist

    Sage at And So To Bed. Where this madness all began. The bed of my dreams. But not for a good few years yet...

    The Regency from Relyon. The design the HoF and FV beds are diffused from.

    The Reflections also by Relyon. This is the bed we have on order that's supposed to be here this week but is now delayed for 2 months. We paid £460 but are able to cancel the order if we like (or if you find us a better deal!)

    Relyon Empire I love this even more than the regency/reflections as its such a good copy of the Sage, but I can only find it in smoked or brushed nickel :(

    Go Get 'Em.....

    leave it with me. I can't guarantee anything as I am very busy, but I will give it a go.

    Did you look for the visage chrome bed on google?

    Yes, thats a valiant effort but seems it only comes in a double and I need me some space for when I've got a bag on with Mr.P...

    Not only that, the chrome finish doesn't look as plush as the FV one we've ordered, I'm pretty sure that IS nickel plated, I don't think they could state that it was if it isn't?? And those little feet either side look a bit iffy?

    It would be very much appreciated if you could find something for us, I'm pretty sick of looking!

    It's all down to the photography with the plushness.

    They can get away with calling it nickel because it is nickel plated under the chrome passivate (I spent 16 years in electroplating).

    I'll see what I can find.

    Marvellous. I must say its a real treat for a total stranger to be willing to share the burden of my trivial 6-month-long endeavour.... Even Mr Phirefly isn't taking the search as seriously....

    I'd just like to point out for all those doubters out there who think i'm on here to advertise: The reason I suggested googling for 'visage chrome bed' was so that it didn't send anyone to my site, but instead gave a wide choice.
