Four Posted Bed Frame
Four posted beds are the beds which remind you of more classical looking bedrooms, commonly seen in period pieces and movies about a different age. Their classic feel and look stems from the four posts which come from the four corners of the bed almost reaching the ceiling.
They do not complete the square shape of the bed but rather stick out, providing a sensation of presence and completeness to the room. They are not recommended to be used in bedrooms with low ceilings due to their height.
