I was a little surprised when I stumbled across this review site as I have purchased three beds from Cathouse Iron Beds and had a great experience with each. The selection is second to none and there is great attention to detail in the refinishing process. I personally highly recommend Cathouse Iron Beds if you are looking for the very best antique iron beds ever made. As an international buyer,I also give this company five stars out of five. Cant wait for my next purchase!!
I LOVE MY BEDS!!!

Paid $5000 for a bed 5 months ago...no bed, no refund, just lots of excuses and runaround. Made complaint to BBB. Will see where that goes.

This process takes time to get all the details done to an antique frame that may need repairs, modification, custom finishes etc. My experience was cordial, prompt in communication and overall worth waiting the time it takes to get the bed ready and shipped across the country. I could not be happier with my bed.

Just writing to follow up to see if the people who wrote in had a) gotten their beds or b) got their money back. Cathouse Beds seems to have bad ratings everywhere. I am thinking on purchasing a bed from them, but after reading these reviews, I am afraid that I will pay for a bed and then not get it.

Unfortunately I found these reviews too late. I bought a bed a month ago. I was promised that I would have the bed in 2 weeks. I called Craig and got some runaround story. He was all helpful before the check was cashed, now I get nothing but empty promises. Don't be suckered in like I was. I am getting very nervous about my bed order.

Has anybody actually received their bed from Cathouse beds? There seem to be plenty of photos of beds in bedrooms on his website / facebook.
I have been sending emails - trying to arrange shipment now for weeks and weeks with delayed emails from the business. He has now had my money for months - he quickly returned my emails before payment and then it slowed down.
The people that posted on this site - did you get your bed in the end - or is this a total waaste of time with no bed in sight?

Sorry for any confusion - the previous listing should have a rating of 1.

Place an order end of April. No response on delivery date for the bed after several attempts to contact Craig.

I ordered a bed about 4 weeks ago, he said it'll be be ready in 2 weeks. Two days ago said the bed is ready and will send pic tomorrow, haven't gotten them as promised. Have to constantly call or email the owner and it's been a very stressful transaction. Just wondering.. had anyone received their beds?

I experienced similar with Craig of Cathouse beds re unexplained long-term delays and lack of communication once money had changed hands and am wondering what forms of redress exist?

Craig, the owner, required a check after we agreed upon a bed, the color and the modifications. I understand why. After he received my check I had to call and e-mail several times before he finally shipped out. When the bed arrived it wasn't an antique and none of the modifications he had promised had been made. The bed was actually made by Elliot Beds.

I ordered the bed in December, was told it was ready to ship in January. Three months later, still waiting.

Have not been able to get a response. Beds have been ready for shipping for nearly a month and for some reason he will not ship them.
