A most gorgeous bed! I am really impressed with the standard and quality of this company and their product. I love the ethos of the company and would highly recommend it to anyone. There is one thing I would improve, as the full delivery and assembly wasn't an option for my postcode, is a far easier set of instructions. It took a few goes and quite a few hours to fathom which pieces and screws went where. With the gas-hinged arms seeming not to move- a note for anyone -not to panic and put the mattress on the top right at the end-the weight presses the piston arms down! However, once it was all put together, what a brilliant ottoman storage bed indeed, easy to open with more room underneath than I thought. Would definitely shop with Get Laid Beds again! Thanks Cat
