Why our sleep experts loved it
Welcome to another insightful review from our team, this time shining the spotlight on the Fairbourne Wooden Ottoman Bed Frame - a bed frame that promises a combination of classic charm, practicality, and sophistication. With contrasting colours and a nifty side-opening storage feature, the Fairbourne certainly grabbed our attention. But does its performance match its aesthetics? Let's delve deeper.
How We Tested
Our dedicated team undertook an in-store evaluation of the Fairbourne Bed Frame, examining everything from design details right down to its practical attributes. Although we weren't able to give it an overnight test at home, our careful evaluation in store, combined with valuable customer feedback and our extensive knowledge of bedding essentials, equipped us with keen insights into this product.
Design and features
The Fairbourne Bed Frame appeals with its classic white wooden finish complemented by contrasting top rails. The subtle grain effect adds a rustic, characterful touch that immediately personalises a bedroom space. This particular bed also brings functionality into the mix with its side-opening ottoman storage, a feature you can customise to open from either side, based on your room’s layout. With an internal storage depth of 20cm, it’s an excellent addition to rooms where space management is a concern.
Construction
The highlight of the Fairbourne is its reinforced underbed storage which is supported by sturdy baseboards. The ottoman support bar is another handy feature that allows the bed to remain raised while the ottoman is in use. A nifty solution for accessing stored items without worrying about your mattress's stability! Surprisingly, despite this added functionality, the construction still feels a little underwhelming. This factor, coupled with the relatively high price point, brought a wisp of disappointment.
Suitability
The Fairbourne might be the perfect match for those looking for a blend of classic design and modern functionality. It offers robust storage options that are a boon for any bedroom. However, its limited sizing options - with only double and king size available - could potentially limit its appeal to some. This lack of sizing flexibility may be an area of potential improvement for the manufacturer.
What Customers Thought
In terms of customer feedback, the Fairbourne has succeeded in presenting itself as a unique alternative to traditional upholstered ottomans. Users praised its sturdy frame and generous storage while appreciating the contrasting detailing on the otherwise white frame. The limited range of available user reviews, however, means that a fuller comprehension of customer satisfaction remains to be explored.
The Verdict
Summing up, the Fairbourne Wooden Ottoman Bed Frame is a fine blend of elegance, charm and practicality. While its appeal could be slightly dampened by the relatively high price point and limited size availability, the substantial underbed storage and beautiful aesthetics cannot be underrated. Until we get more insights from user experiences, our verdict is that this bed frame is a viable consideration for those willing to invest a little more in exchange for added storage and a touch of classic beauty in their bedroom.
