IMO, mahogany and cool don't really go in the same sentence.. mahogany and classic maybe, or mahogany and antique? Check out the ebay stores, I've always found a bargain. Try Argos?

I suggest a double futon from maybe Argos or Ikea? Low down, and also doubles as a spare bed if you have guests/friends stay over?

Re: DIY bedroom
Ikeas cheaper with more range, and their stuffs actually pretty sturdy once you build it.

Re: DIY bedroom
Gilpens in Sandy Row sometimes do good offers on futons, got ours there but it has a metal frame. Is Igloo in Boucher closing down, might get something there? There is a place over near the Westwood Centre, but I think they mainly do pine.
Only other place I could think of would be ideas near the bottom of the Lisburn Road.

Re: DIY bedroom
go to ikea and buy plain pine carp.You can then stain it to look like any wood then either wax it or use a good acrylic clear varnish to finish

I got a futon from Ikea, was very sturdy and could also be stained or painted to what ever colour you like!
My best advice with a futon would be don't go for the cheapest mattress for it though as the thinner ones are not so comfy!

Re: DIY bedroom
Do you drive? Take a day trip over to Scotland and as the others say go to an Ikea. Thats what we did when fitting out our bedrooms.
