1. I don't know. I think it would have been better to buy it from a store in Ohio or Florida

Got to keep the swing states happy, you know.

19. They won they get to buy

a bed in a North Eastern Liberal Area:)

2. Is it locally made?

My guess is that it is but would like to see that confirmed, if you know.

[bdamomma]

4. yes there is a video how they make their beds.

8. Great. Thanks for the info

I'm so happy they're buying American. I'm bookmarking this site, just in case I win PowerBall this weekend.

Thanks, alyce.

7. It's from 1820, an Antique. Hope it's sturdy.

Article said it was delivered to the WH today!

edit to add, oops, I see it's a reproduction. blush.

11. If they "resized" it to a King then it's more reproduction than antique

...I don't think they made kingsized beds in 1820. And even if they were using "original parts", they'd have
to construct a much wider base frame. So I don't think we have to worry about sturdy. I love Leonard's beds. I've often looked at their website... I
wish I could afford to buy!

3. oh good I thought they had to sleep in the same flea-infested bed as the Bushies....n/t

[Cha]

21. Right..like they wouldn't

have that fumingated.

5. I remember reading WAAAY back that often Presidents and First Ladys

slept in different beds. I have a strong feeling that won't be true with these two.

[bdamomma]

6. no way, I hope they hold each other tight the first nite in the WH together.

:blush:

15. I don't think that'll be true either...

They aren't old fogies. I predict they'll be doin' it fairly often. :D

9. Hmmm...

What are they going to do with the hobby horse?

[Drunken Irishman]

10. HOW DARE HE BUY A NEW BED WHEN MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ARE BEDLESS!

[DevonRex]

12. *snort* All he needs is a bunch of old newspapers. The nerve.

[Captain Hilts]

13. I hope it holds up better than the Trumans' bed.

The Roosevelts slept in the Hoovers' beds, found them to be too short and had new ones made.

[FrenchieCat]

14. I wonder if that will be Malia's bed?

[avaistheone1]

16. Nice bed. Very tasteful.

[Clio the Leo]

17. And this is where it's going ......

(maybe)

Incidentally, this was also Lincoln's bedroom. If I were Barack I'd be so geeked out I wouldn't be able to sleep.

18. Michael Smith was the one they described

as being able to decorate with antiques so they look airy and family friendly..paraphrasing.

I like the bed..king size. So do all the new Prezes bring their own bed?
