The "GREEN" Room! / Upholstered Bed
February 17, 2014, 07:44:25 am
Recent project completed and delivered. We spoiled our oldest daughter with an upholstered headboard and platform bed.



The headboard profile is thickest at the smocked pattern point and tapers towards the 3 outer corded edges. Hidden from view is a bottom row of six spaced buttons on the headboard. One unplanned happening relates to the fabric repeat being similar to the smocking pattern . . . another are the leg contours (Mr. H's improvisation) as a tapered leg cut was requested.

AND the biggest issue overall was when it came time to load the platform frame . . . found out the staircase angle in our quad-level home was too short (by about 1/2")!!! Good thing they used 5/8" drywall at the ceiling corner point . . . bit of a repair will be required though :) Decision made: any future builds done in the garage!

Happy Holidays All!

What wisdom does the group have related to recovering the attached? I have done dental and optometrist chairs before but nothing quite like these.



Any idea of time involved? I am hovering around a figure of $500-600 labor for each but have a few questions to ask the client beforehand (like who's in charge of dis-assembly and delivery?).

Also, has anyone else been asked to accept a '60 days net' on work like this? This would be a new client for our business and yet . . . still need to eat and pay the bills :-)
