Hello
A quick update regarding the four poster bed:- We have raised the mattress so that it sits higher than the mattress frame and intend to pad the frame around the mattress. This, of course, means that the bed is indeed higher, so we have provided the stool as requested.
It proves that this forum is going to be useful as no one (not one single person) has mentioned that this was a problem before now.
(Yes the cage below is an integral part of the bed frame - so voting whether or not it should stay is irrelevant).
