[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 10012220, member: 6444"]What does the writing say underneath the marble tops? Agree likely not from US because of hardwood secondary woods, so Europe is possible, but Canada had a lot of wood to make furniture with and maybe hardwood secondary is seen in Canada (not much experience with Canadian pieces - the only Canadian piece I have from this era to check I can’t get to now). You don’t show the bed rails, but if they are without decorative ends, it is indeed much easier to shorten than lengthen. And if you haven’t seen in person yet, bear in mind that owner may have mis-measured by including wood for head and foot. If you’re going to go to the work to shorten, consider whether a queen would fit: some rails allow frame and mattress to go past rail a couple inches, and queen beds and bedding obviously much, much cheaper and easier to find than double-XL.[/QUOTE]
