    Faye, it is meant to be pushed up against the end of a bed to store extra blankets & sheets.

    Very nice. That would also make a nice bench for sitting to put your shoes on and storing hats, gloves, etc. You did a great job.

    Beautiful job John! It is a great idea to use old bedframes that way. I had one made from an old iron bed.
    I had someone weld it for me. The headboard is the back and the footboard is cut in half and made into the sides.
    I just love it! Its all painted up and sitting by my garden. The morning glories are vining all over it.
    I picked up an old wooden headboard now too, but it's a project on the back burner... too many projects ~ too little time.
    Can't wait to retire :)
