Arason Enterprises, Inc. is pleased to announce the introduction
of three new styles in the ZzZ-Chest cabinet bed. The ZzZ-Chest
features substantive changes from the original Fu-Chest design.
This space-saving bed has a storage drawer, a deeper cabinet and
a sleeping platform that is raised from the floor. It converts from
a cabinet into a platform bed in seconds. It is available in a light
or dark birch finish in a contemporary style called the Metropolitan;
a wicker and fruitwood finish called the Savannah; and a rubbed
black finish called the Ravenswood. It is available in full size.
The ZzZ-Chest’s storage drawer and compact size are
perfect for people living in smaller homes who need extra sleeping
accommodations. The raised sleeping platform makes it a viable sleeping
option for most people; its ability to house a thicker mattress
is more attractive to consumers seeking comfort and to retailers
who want to sell a higher quality mattress with the chest.
Jane Arason, President of Arason Enterprises, Inc. says. “Over
the past year we have had numerous requests for a cabinet hide-away-bed
that was up off the floor. We listened to our customers and developed
a mid-priced chest bed that has storage, a raised sleeping platform,
space for a thicker mattress and is easier to use. We kept the best
features of the original Fu-Chest such as its portability, small
footprint, attractive cabinet style and relative low cost when compared
to a Murphy Bed.”
Suggested retail price for the ZzZ-Chest style cabinet
bed ranges from $1,300 to $1,450 for the double size. This is about
half the cost of a wall bed. It will accept an 8-inch folding mattress
or futon. Mattress is sold separately. Dimensions are L 59.5”
x W 22” x H 48”. The ZzZ-Chest, an import,
is on display in Plaza Suites space 2-300 during the October High
Point Market.
Arason Enterprises received a patent for the original Fu-Chest bed
(patent number 6,851,139) in February of this year. Original Fu-Chest
styles include:
- The
Mission style, with traditional lines, is available in either
a medium oak or a dark oak finish;
- The
Cosmopolitan Style, with a contemporary look, is available in
either a natural birch or a dark mahogany on birch finish;
Suggested retail price for the original Fu-Chest ranges from $396
to $490, depending on style and size. Futon mattress is sold separately.
All styles are available through retailers or
on-line merchants and can be seen on the web site at www.fu-chest.com.

The
Fu-Chest™, an Innovation in Additional Bedding,
Is Available for January Delivery
December
12, 2003 — Annapolis, MD—Arason Enterprises, Inc. is
happy to announce that the Fu-Chest is avaialble for shipping. The
elegantly designed Fu-Chest™ converts with ease from a faux
chest of drawers to a full-length futon bed. Its small footprint,
classic design and clever functionality make consummate use of space.
When closed, the Fu-Chest conceals and protects the bedding in an
attractive chest with practical tabletop surface and well-appointed
hardware. When opened, the Fu-Chest provides twin or full size sleeping
comfort complete with headboard. After use, simply fold up the Fu-Chest
and lock the side draw catches. Sporting an upscale look in futon
furniture, the versatile Fu-Chest collection fits into any décor.
Three styles, all imports, will be in inventory in January.
The Fu-Chest collection includes:
The MISSION — Oak veneer, parlor oak or dark mahogany on oak
finish, Arts and Crafts design, reproduction rustic bronze hardware,
twin or full;
The COSMOPOLITAN — Birch veneer with sable or dark mahogany
finish, sleek minimalist design, brushed aluminum hardware comes
with the light finish, brass hardware comes with the dark finish,
twin or full;
The Fu-Chest permanently houses any standard six-inch full or twin
futon. It is built to last with tongue and groove, sturdy case construction
and reinforced side panels. It moves easily about the room on glides.
Best of all, the Fu-Chest is easy and convenient to use and opens
up into a bed in no time at all.
Company President Jane Arason thought of the Fu-Chest when she and
her husband Jon were trying to fit an extra bed into one of their
smaller rooms. “Futons are very comfortable, but the futon
sofas and chairs I looked at took up too much space. The Fu-Chest
solves the problem of fitting a bed into limited space,” said
Jane. “Friends and family were so enamored of Jon’s
prototype that it was decided to introduce the Fu-Chest to the furniture
market.” The Fu-chest (patent-pending) fills the need for
an extra bed in small apartments, dens, lofts, home offices, beach
condos, ski lodges, and cabins. It is also a finely crafted item
that you would be proud to have in your living room. “Our
slogan ‘sleeping places in small spaces’ sums up the
idea behind the Fu-Chest,” she continued.
