How can I find discontinued furniture?

Question

After 16 years of wedded bliss, my hubby and I would like to upgrade from a queen to a king size bed. I'm trying to locate a king-size Pulaski bed from the discontinued Somerset Square Collection. Suggestions for locating it or something in a similar finish are welcome!

You might try this website. Don't know anything about it personally, but maybe it can help you. http://www.topix.com/forum/business/furniture/T5AFJAQE3QOPFK94S/p2

Lori Jackson · Answer

Perhaps you could locate a cabinet maker--an old school carpenter, to rebuild the bed, using the original posts?

Googling works wonders......

There's a king-sized one in my bedroom! Bought it in 2002 in Houston! Hope you can find one........

Liliana Wells · Answer

I am assuming you have tried to get in touch with the manufacturer? You may also want to check out eBay. Or post your request on Craigslist or other free publications.

Mary Beth Carrier · Answer

I know someone already suggested a carpenter & that is an option. My parents had their antique walnut bed enlarged & you would never believe it! The company is Parker Woodworks in Lafayette, La
Good luck!

Diane · Answer

My bedroom furniture was a 40 y/o matching set and my tastes have changed since then! I moved the bed into a spare bedroom and replaced it with an upholstered bed in a beautifully textured neutral linen. It looks great and I didn't have to go through the angst of matching woods and style.

Hope Williams · Answer

Have a furniture maker enlarge your bed frame.  It's not that expensive and being that is all you need is a bigger bed set, it souls be reasonable.  
Then you can always tray eBay, Craigslist, and such.

Nikki · Answer

Thanks Hope! I'm going to explore the enlarging option. Never considered that until your and Mary Beth's suggestion.

Pat Beauregard · Answer

Nikki, I've heard of smallerizing, but never enlarging.  Good Luck.

I have almost the same bed in a king,, has more embellishments and I have seen tons of them on sites,, I'm just getting ready I live in CA ,, so soon as I can I will send to you!!

Nikki · Answer

After replying to TexasGranny about Texans liking things bigger, I started thinking that there might be a few other Texans that may have purchased a king version of the bed, so I decided to search Craigslist city by city. Guess what? I found one! Waiting to see if the person is willing to separate the set and sell just the bed, then I'll just have to get it to Atlanta! Fingers crossed! Thanks HomeTalkers!

I'm a retired Interior Designer and occasionally I had similar needs. I would call Pulaski and ask them if they have an outlet or know of a vendor who might have one

Mssmatch · Answer

Have you contacted pulaskifurnitureoutlet.com and asked there?

Try discount furniture in areas of NC Such as Hickory or High Point. There is a big mall type store in HIckory and a MAJOR furniture show in High Point once or twice a year.

We are still looking for Broyhill (Fontana) nightstands! Have checked out North Carolina and they don't have it! Still looking?!

Nikki · Answer

Hey everybody, I found it! And, the best part is I only had to drive two hours away to get it and got to meet and buy it from an amazing family. Thanks to all of you for your suggestions! Time to shop for a new comforter/duvet now! :-)

Hope Williams · Answer

Now that's determination!  Congratulations girl!

Linda J · Answer

Yea!!!!  See what perseverance can do??!!  I think finding this furniture was a national project.  Glad you found it.  Enjoy!

Nikki · Answer

Hope and Linda, determination and perseverance definitely pay off!

Connie Shurtz · Answer

I would call the company that makes it directly and ask if they had outlets for their discontinued pieces or market pieces. Market samples are shown at the furniture show for sale and if they don't get a lot of orders then they send them to their outlets.

Texasgranny · Answer

Glad you had success locating your new bed! Sweet Dreams!

Does anyone have the man's chest for sale for the Pulaski Somerset Square?

Jennifer · Answer

Hi Nikki 
I sure wish I would have saw this post earlier. I had the king and sold to downsize to a queen. I am looking for a queen. If you would please share how you came to find your new size. I would greatly appreciate it! I have had this set since 2001 and just love it.

Nikki · Answer

Hi Jennifer, I just kept searching on Craigslist (in every state) and eventually happened upon one in Alabama! I ended up selling the queen-size for barely nothing to a woman who was starting over...so another happy ending! Good luck with your search; don't give up!

Stacy · Answer

I am also looking for the same bed... I found one here in Houston for less than $400 at a consignment shop. I was so excited, went to go get it and they sold it 2 hours before I got there. It was still in the shop. Broke my heart! So, I'm still on the hunt.

Sheka · Answer

Congrats!!! I have been looking for the same bed. When I do no one wants to sell just the bed!! I love me set but need the king!!!

April · Answer

I am looking for a Broyhill Attic Heirlooms Nightstand. We bought our bedroom set from Bernie & Phyls in Braintree MA in 2010, but unfortunately only bought one nightstand, and we are now searching for the matching one.

Yelena Bondar · Answer

I'm also searching for a Pulaski bed but the Edwardian king...if anyone has any leads I would greatly appreciate it. I'm in the New York area

Srohdes · Answer

I have the entire bedroom set with king size bed that I want to sell. Anyone interested.
