Our Review

In our view, the Penelope Upholstered Ottoman Bed Frame is a truly luxurious offering that doesn’t skimp on practicality. If you are someone who is looking to amalgamate opulence with functionality, this bed frame is worth considering. Not only will it serve as a stunning centrepiece in your bedroom with its classic scroll headboard and foot end, but it will also resolve storage issues with its sizable under-bed compartment. Do consider the size of your room and the specific interior design when picking the colour of the frame. As for pricing, although it is slightly upmarket, we believe the long-term value it brings in terms of quality, design and practical functionality justifies the investment. That said, if the assembly process worries you, it might be worth considering factoring professional assembly into your purchase.

It's clear this bed offers a touch of elegance with its velvet upholstery and deep button finish. The storage feature is very useful, though lifting can be a bit tricky. It's a solid piece, but there's room for improvement.

Bed is lovely and is a great mental heath bonus. Stubborn I can do it attitude means we built ourselves and it was a tough day, it could be a tv challenge show :-). 2 plasters many broken nails and a high adrenaline success feeling. Instructions should include some more words maybe. Happy teenager though
