The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Making a Stovebolt Bed Best Bed Manufacturer?

I have not bought one lately but I have followed post along this line for sometime. RIght now it seems without a doubt that Mar-K has the BEST. I have heard nothing but Good things about the quality of their AMERICAN made products. This include the metal, the wood, the actual fit of the parts.
I'm sure someone with more knowledge than me will post but this is my observations over a period of time. Yes, they are a little pricey compared to the cheap stuff but from what I read its well worth it many times!! I think they do have free shipping on a complete system. There is a link to their site and they also respond to questions in the "bed section forum".
Good luck. Let us know what you decide and the final outcome.

EDIT: for a review of finisies you need to read up on Mar-K's recommendations as they have conducted a several test and see what the findings are.
