The Wheeler bed is a true reproduction of a19th century design.It has a rectangular top with moulded edges, 9 pairs of extending X-shaped legs covered in doubled 24 Oz canvas with leather trims. The hardware is all equestrian quality brass .The front extends to form a moulded foot board. This design is both unusual and practical. It can function as a very comfortable occasional bed and when closed an excellent side table with ample storage space in a flap opening in the front.
