I would like to share my experiences of purchasing a Queen Santa Fe Sofa Wall Bed from Wilding, a process that took several weeks and multiple calls and emails with Trent Aldredge due to the size of the room and a ceiling fan which might have proven itself an insurmountable problem. Trent was patient and as I kept sending and at times altering dimensions and clearances he was supportive, sending me architectural diagrams to verify the feasibility of the project; eventually, I ordered the bed you see in the images provided. It isn't every day that I spend $7,000 over the phone or online, and a great many factors entered into the decision: 1) materials, 2)design, 3)construction, 4) Installation, 5) confidence in the people on the other end of the phone, and 6) all the little details Wilding has built into their organization. MATERIALS: Oak, oak veneer, and all wood construction, not melamine, particle board, or cheaper substitutes. DESIGN: There were only a few companies with the Sofa/Wall Bed OIption, and none were as attractive as the Wilding bed we chose. CONSTRUCTION: I watched all the videos, not that I intended to install it myself, but to get a feel for the way the bed was put together. INSTALLATION: Part of this is the design, the spring/lift assembly, but primarily this is one of only two companies that have designed a wall bed that does not require it being bolted to the floor. We have a cement slab floor with radiant-heating pipes so floor mounting would be difficult if not perilous risking hitting a pipe. CONFIDENCE: Trent, Caden, and Kim, all of whom I dealt with were courteous, friendly, and knowledgable and when one of them said they would get back to you the call was always made, the samples were in the mailbox, the commitment was always met. THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS: The Little Things, such as a well-designed website that allows you to pick and choose options, evaluate costs, understand delivery options, and make the right choices for you at each step of the ordering process. A Touch-Up Kit for the inevitable mishap at some point in the future, the detailed video step-by-step installation guide along with the instructions, and the clearly packaged and labeled hardware preventing missteps along the way. All of this was what led us to choose Wilding. Our new wall bed/sofa has turned our overcrowded room with its undersized antique bed is now Martha’s workout room and study/office, with/ a queen-sized Serta mattress which will be a pleasure for our guests. (I just received a call from the electrician and the fan will be back up tomorrow.) Our Thanks to everyone at Wilding for a job well done and every promise delivered on time or sooner.
