14K BED? No way!

Sorry, mis-remembered.
Mr. Jenkins would not comment on the exact price of the bed, though similar items on the Leonard’s website are priced between $9,000 and $10,000. eastbayri.com

The bed is nearly 200 years old, believed to have been built around 1820. Typically, Mr. Jenkins said, beds taken from this period of time have to be re-sized to fit either queen or king size mattresses and box springs. In this case, the bed was re-fitted to king-size.

Mr. Jenkins wasn’t sure where the bed will be going inside The White House.
