Sumatra Bed & Dresser Set
A deep mahogany stain highlights the natural distressing of our Sumatra Bed & Dresser's kiln-dried wood, hand-chosen for its unique character. Rustically beautiful knots, burls, whorls and dings add to the inherent beauty of this set. Expertly crafted solid hardwood frames. Hand-sanded edges add to the distressed look. Hand-applied final coat of lacquer for lasting beauty. Slat-roll support system makes the use of a box-spring optional. Wood swatches, below, are available for $25 each. We will provide a merchandise refund for wood swatches if they're returned within 30 days.

Sumatra Furniture
April 26, 2011
Love my new bedroom set! It is so beautiful and sturdy, and has turned my bedroom into a true sanctuary. The delivery was a bit slow (3 weeks from time of purchase) and I was given no input into delivery day or time. The delivery men were awesome, though. They were careful navigating heavy pieces up a difficult stairwell, and were efficient in the assembly of the furniture. I will definitely purchase from Pottery Barn again!

Looks Great!
January 13, 2011
I bought this set with the large dresser a couple of years ago and although it is a great looking set the quality is poor. The wood is very susceptible to marks and scratches and wears easily. I like the looks but would not buy this set again. It is also over priced for what it is.

Cheap Bedroom set
January 10, 2011
This is the worst bedroom set ever made! I am shocked at the quality and how poorly the wood is that was used to construct this set is. If you ever so lightly scratch it, you will be left with a mark which shows the lighter wood underneath. We have had our set for five years and it is full of scratches. We bought coffee tables from a reputable company 8 years ago and those look better than our bedroom set. I also want to add that we are not hard on our furniture and take care of our things, so it's not from owner abuse. It's from the cheap construction of this set. Do not buy, unless you want to have the same issue as we are having.

After 8 years, still love this bed
January 9, 2011
This bed has moved 3 times since I've had it and only scratched once during the last (unprofessional) move. Filled in scratch with repair and it's not noticeable. It's solid as a rock and the wood is so beautiful. Wouldn't have another bed.

Impressive but...
December 16, 2010
This set needs a big bedroom. We like it because it has a rustic but angular style. However the wood is soft and scratches easily. The phone dropped on the side of the bed and a piece of wood popped off. If I could find something that would hide the scratches I'd be satified. Probably wouldn't buy it again but do plan to buy the dresser now that I have the bed and tables. Oh...and be prepared for the carpet cleaner guy to nearly faint when he comes to clean the carpet!

Solid Bed
December 14, 2010
I bought this bed 6 years ago and it has been through many moves and a new marriage. Its wide ledges (about 4 inches) are great for stacking book and glasses if you like to read in bed. It is made of a softer wood that does scratch, but is is not particle board and it is not veneer. I have a fantasy of sanding out the scratches and refinishing it with a very hard polymer, but that will probably never happen. I will never buy veneer ... it just doesn't last. At least I can refinish this bed and the surface won't pop off if if gets wet!

Scratches too easily
November 27, 2010
I've had this bed for about 5 years and while structurally it is very sound, kiss your investment goodbye if you touch it. It will scratch with just a fingernail. Unless you sleep with mittens this is a waste. I highly disappointed with PB on this.

Absolutely gorgeous!
November 14, 2010
My husband and I were looking for a platform bed that was not too modern looking and we found it when we saw the Sumatra bed. We loved the fact that a box spring was not necessary. We fell in love with this bed so much that we bought it from the online picture only. When it arrived, we were not disappointed. The color is so rich looking and the imperfections (knots, etc) in the wood give it so much character. Yes, the wood is a little soft and dings and scratches easily, but it just adds to the character of the piece. The dresser is very solid with enormous drawers and is extremely well-built. If you want a wooden bed with no imperfections, then do not buy the Sumatra collection. If you want a traditional bed with a modern twist, then this is for you.

Love the look, don't love the soft wood
November 13, 2010
This wood is very soft and scratches very easily. Our set looks really old and worn. The bed set looks great and is beautiful, if you don't touch it!

Awesome set!
November 12, 2010
This bedroom set is very nice - a bit rustic yet sophisticated. The delivery guy said it's the most solid bed they have. It's very stable and we used a mattress without boxspring.
The dresser is very nice - with the term "over-sized" I hoped it would be larger than it is, but it's still a gorgeous piece, and I am very happy with the purchase!

Stunning Set!
September 14, 2010
We love this bedroom furniture! It has a very rustic traditional feel that we have added a modern touch to. We love that it is so incredibly solid, and I mean it doesn’t move. We also like that this bed has a solid supportive wood base to lay a mattress on directly without slats or springs. The finish is nice and stain is very rich. Thank you again Pottery Barn!
