a couple questions

i am thinking about a wood bed. i have a metal one right now. can you convert a metal bed into a wood bed? or would i be better off finding a original wood one?
thanks for any input
Ben

If your bedsides are good, converting would be a good option as the sides are the same. The front panel can be modified and the cross beams replaced. All of the cross beams are available new. Wood and hardware are available new.
