without the footboard (which I prefer since it makes it less bulky for a more modest bedroom)
with the footboard, just as fab but a little larger scale
Raymour and Flanigan Verona King Panel Bed $1399.95
This one is only ok. It doesn't have as much style as the Restoration Hardware bed. It is almost a little too traditional since the wood has not been distressed. BUT it is substantially cheaper. Just not sure if I love it.
Eastover Traditional Wood Panel Bed furnituretent.com $1099.99
This bed is a little more comparable to the St. James bed. A lot of the detail is the same including the dentil trim and bun feet. It looks to be good quality. The grey driftwood finish gives it a younger more contemporary feel to the highly traditional design. This definitely could be a competitor to the Restoration Hardware bed. Another aspect that is great is every piece I buy from this set would be less expensive than at Restoration Hardware. That could add up to a lot of money in savings. If we decide on a wood panel bed this just might be the one!
