How much is a antique dixie bedroom set worth?

Elizabeth

I have a seven piece Dixie Bedroom set. It is a king size bed, two night stands, a mirror, and a dresser. All original set.There are gold pulls and the bed has four carved posters and sits up two feet off the ground. This set was my grandparents and has the Dixie stamp on the back of the pieces. I have no idea how much to sell this for or where to sell it. Any ideas?
This set is not antique. I would venture to call it vintage though. I can not find a date on it but do think it was made sometime in the late 40s/50s since it is a family heirloom from my grandparents. It has the Dixie stamp and an item number though and made in the U.S.A.

Answer
if it has a king size bed then it is unlikely to be an antique, furniture is supposed to be 100 years old before being called antique, and they did not use king size beds in 1910

Bedroom set off Craigslist?

Savannah

So, they are asking $700 for everything including the mattress. How much should I offer them for everything *but* the mattress? 500? 600? How much would the Matress and boxspring be worth? It's a Cal King set.

Answer
If it's a King Size bed, mattresses are pretty pricey for it. So, they probably want to sell it all together. Just email them first, and ask if they would be willing to sell the set without the mattress, before you name a price. But, yes I'm thinking 500 - 600.

Can a soft side water bed fit convential bedroom furniture?

bedroom set king bed image

Christophe

I have a Eastern King soft sided waterbed. I have the 9 leg metal frame. I am looking to purchase a new bedroom set from Rooms 2 Go or some place like that. Can I purchase a bed with the wooden rails to attach to the metal frame. I know that the weight of the bed will not allow me to use the wooden rails from the new bed.

Answer
You can make the rails work.... you just need to make sure you have center support legs on the rails.... most good wood bed will come with slats and 1-3 center support legs.... You just need to add more so that you have about 9 center support legs....you can use wood or even bricks....

do you have a hard time letting go of old furniture?

i have a king size canopy bed (dark wood frame), with lighting and mirrors at the "ceiling" part of the canopy, its a beautiful bed but i've had that bed for over 12 years. it now has war marks, needs one or two very minor repairs, possibly repainted/polished, and it has to be assembled by furniture people otherwise it can be a disaster if not assembled properly.

I have alot of years and memories in that bed, its beautiful when its put together but with all the work it'll take to get it fresh & "new" again, i could get a brand new bedroom set. i dont want to sell it. a part of me wants a brand new bedroom set but i'm so attached to this bed, its also "one of a kind" you dont find beds like this much anymore.

do any of you have a hard time letting go of stuff you've had for so many years? how do you get rid of that feeling?
i guess i just want a new start . . . . and to let go of the old, bring in the new . . . .

anyone ever felt that way?

Answer
NOTHING SAYS STUFF HAS TO BE NEW!

If you love it, keep it. Don't feel bad about it, either. I really think it's all the advertising we're constantly seeing that makes us feel like we "have" to have new stuff.
