What a gorgeous bed!

"I love, love, love this bed. It is gorgous. My only complaint is the lack of room for a box spring. It definitely changes the feel of the mattress. But, the bed is so pretty. I love it it my new bedroom."

Love This Bed

"We have this in a kingsized bed we've owned since 2007. It still looks brand new and is quite attractive. It doesn't work well with a bed skirt, but you can see some floor under the bed, which will make any room seem larger. This has been a terrific purchase."

Great bed

"This bed is perfect! I saw it in a Pinterest photo that I pinned and was happy to order the same bed to copy the style of the bedroom in the picture. The nailhead trim adds a nice accent and the fabric is good quality."

Love this bed

"When we moved into our new house I wanted to find a new bedroom set. I searched for quite a while for the perfect bed, and although this one was more money than I wanted to spend, I decided to splurge and I'm so glad I did! No regrets whatsoever. I absolutely love this bed, it's simply gorgeous, and so different from the traditonal wooden or metal bed frame. I also love that it's a bed, not just a headboard. I chose the original fabric color, not sure of the name, and it's beautiful. This bed is perfect in every way."

Great!

"I had my eye on this bed for quite some time and when I went to purchase it, my local store was closed for a month while moving. I needed the bed due to house guests so I had to order online. The online reviews helped me make the decision that this was the bed I wanted. The bed looks great! I was worried about only needing the mattress and not the box spring but it looks great, is high enough, and feels sturdy. People who have seen the bed set up commented how great it looks. I ordered the linen fabric in natural therefore it will go with just about anything. The delivery was right on time, they were quick, polite and had the bed set up with the mattress and trash hauled in 20 minutes!"

Not the best construction

"A nod to sustainable materials with a simple elegant looking design. But just does not live up to the hype. Soy based padding still contains polyurethane foam that emits chemical gas. Poor construction relies on use of staples. Seams of fabric are just folded over once and glued to each other. The floor model had glue cracking and seams gapping the entire length of the fabric headboard. The chrome nail heads were large and clunky looking in person not very charming or comfortable to lean against and the headboard is too low to support my head. Floor model legs were chipped and mahogany finish was flaking off. This $2000 bed is maybe $500 in materials and labor. Will shop elsewhere for truly sustainable and well made furniture hopefully made in the U.S."

Looks nice, but smells terrible

"When the bed first came in, I thought it looked really neat. However, the bed creates strong acid smell from its wood slats which irritates my eyes. I was wondering if the wood slats were treated with some kind of VOC. It was made in the USA, I am so disappointed and wanted to get rid of the bed, but I guess I am stuck with it!"

Question about Colette Bed

"I LOVE the looks of this bed and it has been on our wish list for quite some time now. My husband and I are going to purchase a tempurpedic bed and I'd like to know if this bed can accommodate that type of mattress. I know the bed has slats and I don't know if that is supportive enough for the foam beds. I'd love to hear from someone who has a tempurpedic. Thanks in advance for your feedback."

Question about mattress thickness

"What is the maximum thickness that your mattress can be for this bed? I plan to put Euro shams on the bed and want to make sure they will not be higher than the arch at the top. I have an existing mattress I bought 2 years ago with a boxspring that I would like to use for this bed. If I can't use the boxspring, I will plan to buy the board and use my own mattress if the size is right. Thanks for your help."

Colette bed

"Fabulous bed, an eye catcher for any room! The nail studs are great accessory. I have not had any issues with fabric or mattress. Added bonus is the staff @ Crate and Barrell were great with advice! Definite yes to this product!"

Beautiful, but the fabric "pills"

"We absolutely love the bed. Gorgeous design, simple and beautiful in the Albaster. My only disappointment is that the fabric on the baseboard has started to pill.
We have a labrador who bumps into the beds and lays on/underneath it. The vaccuum brush has been used on the baseboard once, and then a dry cloth/Swifter to remove any dog hair.
Tthe fabric does pill into small balls along the base. It takes away the streamlined looked. We have only had the baseboard for 3 months in a weekend home, (only stayed in it 12 weekends or so.. 30-40 days).
I would still consider buying it again. We really loe the look, but I just have to find a way to keep clean without pilling.
anyone experience it?"

gorgeous bed

"I've been thinking about buying the Colette chair, since I bought this bed 5 yrs ago. I love it, and over the years 2 interior designers and an architect/friend all immediately reacted with comments like - what a beautiful bed! Where did you get it? Hah - I did not have to go to a design showroom to get this, and spend excess $$ for good design. I sleep great in it, and as a matter of fact, it's time now for me to go to sleep in my gorgeous bed."

Excellent

"This bed looks great and is very well made. We've seen some imitations, but none with the craftsmanship, fabric, curvature/look as good as this one. It is a little pricey, but you do get what you pay for. The delivery guys were great in putting the bed together. We're very happy with the bed."

Lovely bed

"We just got our bed this week and just love it!!!! It is so pretty and very sterdy. Very happy with the quality of this bed. I read someone had a problem with mattress support but I think they maybe had a bad mattress becuase it is perfectly supportive."

modern elegance

"My husband and I bought this bed after looking at many for several months. It's a great starting point for decorating our master bedroom.
The headboard is great to lean back on and read. The mattress support is wonderful. Overall, the quality is awesome and the look is even better."

My favorite thing

"I love, love, love my new bed. Although pricey, it was still cheaper than alot of similar styles from other stores. The quality and workmanship is top knotch. Believe me I am a stickler for quality and don't mind paying the price for it. This bed wows everyone and they can't believe the price. My sister loved it so much she ordered the same exact one.
Stop looking at it and buy it! You won't be disappointed.
