<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AveCo, post: 4272145, member: 22214&quot;]I haven&#039;t found any similar example with a single plank bottom as far as a trundle, however I really haven&#039;t found much to compare it to.&nbsp; I do recall seeing a Flemish &quot;box-bed&quot; with a solid bottom but haven&#039;t been able to track that down.&nbsp; My understanding is that by the 18th century, rope type beds were in common use.&nbsp; There is no indication that it&#039;s overall construction was modified, only that someone maybe 50-60 years ago braced it across the bottom and nailed all of the corners to keep it rigid.</p><p>Jeremy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
