ETA - thank you all for the bed suggestions. I feel a little less clueless now.

I would be nervous about getting something like this that has the wood sticking out around the edge. The pictured bed is like $1,500. With beds, dining chairs (b/c they get pulled in and out and people scoot in them) and cabinet-type furniture (bookshelves, anything with drawers) I worry more about the joints being put together well. When I was looking for furniture, I saw some at storehouse that I thought looked pretty but it was almost like it was stapled together. I got something that has those interlocking joints; there's some other way that is quite strong too.
Motherfucker, I just realized I loaned my "important aspects of furniture buying" book to someone who subsequently moved. Grrrr.
ETA It sounds like I hate and am criticizing this bed -- actually I like it and was posting it as a suggestion or something. I love looking at furniture.
