Last week I had the occasion to check out some furniture in a shop in Baja and noticed that they were doing some repairs on a bed that was purchased in a furniture store in the US. The rail had come loose where it attached at the column. I was astonished to see that the column was totally hollow and the surrounds were a heavy carboard; however, even more amazing were the beautiful "handcarved" decals which turned out to be heavy plastic. The couple had paid over $3,000.00 for the bed.
The veneer was so thin that you could easily scratch it off.
In Mexico you can purchase a magnificent bed similar constructed of "wood" for less!!
Photos to see!
