Summary
A wooden doll's bed frame. The bed has five wooden slats running across it and there are two pieces of wood running down the length of the bed, which are nailed on top of the slats. At the top and bottom of the bed these pieces of wood are nailed on to the head and foot of the bed. The head board and foot board move, which enables the bed to fold flat. The bed is raised on four legs which are made of wood and are a continuation of the foot and head board. Underneath the bed there are two metal hoops which have been screwed into the base of the head and foot board. On the slat nearest to the base of the bed there is a metal hook which goes through the hoop to hold it in place. The hook for the head board is missing and there is some string holding it instead.
