The box bed or closet bed, was popular across Europe from the medieval era to the early 20th Century. For centuries, drowsy farm-workers, fish-gutters, and even members of nobility would crawl inside these cozy wooden dens each night to escape the cold.

Also: that feeling that some things are better tested before being sold & usedâŚ

Ofcourse.
They are attracted to me due to my aura which is black with a hint of glitter and a dash of cyanide.
Besides Zaera identifies with them as died recently. At the time, was in a bad mood , so slammed open hellâs gates , took of my bra and panties , sat on Satanâs lap, grabbed him by the horns and told him âIâm home , whats the WiFi passwordâ
Well, atleast I stopped fighting my inner demons, we on the same side now.

My grandparents had one. Family lore has it that it was brought over from England as a wedding gift. I remember sleeping in it and it being cozy and warm on a wintery night.

As a matter of fact that is how the wife and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary. We spent the day going to local wineries.
Then that evening at a bar that was said to be haunted. It really wasnât, but they actually had decent Guiness and the food was great. How did we know? The lights were on a timer as that moved every 45 seconds to a minute. Plus the eerie sound was coming from a speaker I spotted the first thirty seconds after sitting down.

That closet bed is now in possession of a cousin. Who actually used it for her kids when they were younger. The last time I saw it was about ten years ago. Still in really great condition and being used for the grandkids when they stay overnight.
And yeah, the tourists were all oohhâs and aahhâs and look the lights are moving.. Again.. 
For my part I had to stop drinking as every time a tourist went ohh or aaahh I took a drink.. I was starting on my second glass when I had to stop. I was driving, so yeah.. No DUI for me thank you.
