"I'm 74 and I put my pencil post bed together myself." - Mary Lou, Greensburg, Indiana

"Thank you SO much for having Zachary Kirk fax the pencil post bed instruction sheet to me last evening. I have just now put aside my socket wrench, pushed this lovely bed into place, have plopped the spring/mattress on top, and wanted to tell you asap that it is absolutely stunning in the room. You will have to put a notation somewhere that one person is able to put the bed together without helpers! I haven't slept on it yet, but how can it be anything but a perfect night's sleep! Once again, thank you for this handsome piece of beautifully made furniture, and for going the extra distance on my behalf."
