I pick this bed because the design is of any modern bed with a headboard only its beading decor  depicts  greek design

modern side table
I picked this table because of the leg style which speaks Greek to me and the design around the table top  speaks ancient. that and if clients wants a hand made design we cans change it out with any design they feel fits their taste.
