Profile
"There's a lot at stake when you start to decorate," says Linda Allen, owner of Charles P. Rogers. "And nowhere is that more true than in the bedroom." She should know: Her bed and bedding store has been in the family since 1855, selling beautiful iron, brass, leather and hardwood (cherry and mahogany, exclusively) frames; head- and foot-boards and trundle and day beds; as well as a limited selection of mirrors, room dividers, tables, benches, and sheets in linen or 450-thread-count cotton. The aesthetic runs from minimalist, Asian-inspired platform beds and romantic, filigreed-metal canopied pieces to hulking roll-arm leather Chesterfields; Allen’s husband designs most all of the company’s line, which is manufactured at their New Jersey factory. What all the pieces have in common is a devotion to craftsmanship and an attention to detail and materials, like architectural moldings, intricate joinery and sumptuous woods and leathers. The showroom displays the complete collection, to which new pieces are added every three to four months, and a few antique items that are also for sale. Delivery can take as little as fifteen days for in-stock pieces and ten to twelve weeks for those that must be manufactured. — Andrew Sessa
Extra
Charles P. Rogers makes bedframes to hold the mattress, and elegant sheets to dress it, but shoppers in need of the actual mattress and box spring must purchase them elsewhere.
Sales
None regularly scheduled, but since this is a factory-direct store, be sure to ask to see beds on sale or offered at a deep discount.

I ordered my bed from their website. The staff was easy to deal with and the shipping took about 10 business days (slowed by a mix-up with my phone number). When the bed reached me, I was impressed. First of all, I've never purchased anything that was so safely packaged. They had even run packing material between joints to prevent scratches in areas of the bed that no one would have seen anyway. Speaking of areas no one would have seen, even the insides and bottoms and tucked away corners of the wood pieces were stained very neatly, unlike some furniture stores I visited where unseen pieces were unstained or had streaks or drip-marks. The bed I purchased has a leather headboard and the leather and stitch-work are excellent, easily comparable to a nice sofa. The memory-foam filling is comfortable; great for when I'm sitting up against the headboard to read or watch television.
What I like about Charles P. Rogers is the great selection. They offer multiple styles in brass, iron, wood and leather so you can easily compare different styles and materials all in one place. While not every bed appealed to my taste, I did find that every bed seemed to be of the same high quality. The pricing is pretty reasonable considering the quality.
I ended up purchasing an iron canopy bed (cairo) and two sets of their very reasonably prices 400 thread count sheets. The staff was friendly (by NY standards) and the bed arrived as promised. It looks fabulous in our room and I highly recommend them if you are looking for a bed.
