Children's metal beds

Special features
The basis of the metal bed is a steel frame. It is equipped with a bottom and back. On the sides of the bottom there may be slats of both metal and wood. The form of structures is rectangular, oval, round and even semicircular. Sleeping places can be two, one or even three.
The manufacture of these types of furniture occurs by forging or stamping. Artistic forging by special craftsmen is currently estimated to be quite expensive, since it is handmade. But with the help of stamping, the beds are commercially available and their price is much lower. The final step in manufacturing technology is finishing with the application of powder paint, which gives not only the color of the structure, but also is a protective layer against corrosion and fungus development.
