We finally settled on a beautiful cherry wood bedroom set

Does Bigger Mean Better? I still have the same bedroom set that was purchased almost 20 years ago when we moved to a new home.

My husband and I looked at many bedroom sets and we finally settled on a beautiful cherry wood bedroom set.

It consisted of a queen sized bed with a finely detailed head board, a highboy and a six foot long, ten drawer bureau with a huge mirror to compliment it.

Now, my husband had always loved oversize furniture and this certainly was the case. Arrangements were made for the furniture movers to come several days later and I didn’t envy their job because it was going up on the second floor.

The stairs leading up there were pretty steep and the hallway was quite narrow, so when you got to the top it was going to be quite a chore to turn the bureau and get it into the bedroom, but they did it easier than I thought was going to be possible.

However, we got hit with a problem I never thought of. They went to bring the box spring up the stairs and it just wasn’t going to go. You see, at the base of the stairs the ceiling came down. It wasn’t too much taller than I was.

They twisted, they turned, but there is no give to a box spring and it just wasn’t going to go. They just couldn’t angle the box spring sideways enough because the stairwell was just too narrow. Now we had a real problem.

I called my husband and told him we would probably have to change it to a full sized bed because there was no way it was going up those stairs. He didn’t believe me and came rushing home.

They all tried, but it wasn’t going. Hubby came up with the solution and I still laugh today remembering.

He went out into the barn, got his chainsaw and cut through the overhang up there so you could squeeze the box spring through.

It stayed that way until we remodeled the house years later.
