I've just been into Feather and Black looking at a storage bed. Looks very nice and everything, drawers seem robust with dovetail backs and tenoned fronts, but the drawers don't have metal runners - just one flat edge resting on another, so obviously nowhere near as smooth an action as say a kitchen drawer.
Is there any reason why a bed might not use kitchen drawer runners, or is this just being ridiculously cheap on what is certainly not a cheap bed?
Tempted to have a bash at making my own.... (to give it a DIY angle) though it would be far in advance of any woodwork I've done so far - a mason's mitre on a worktop is my limit to date....
