    It’s simply a case of uploading the wrong photo. That’s plainly not an Ethan Allen bedroom set; it looks more like Pottery Barn.

    Headboard, box spring & mattress, corner desk, night stand,bureau w/mirror . All furniture is glass covered on top. They are dark maple

    Ok, just why Spark’ put a glass top on both mattress and box spring, or fenestrated the mirror, probably pale before the more important question of:

    “Dark Maple what?”

    Leaves? Bark? Sapwood? The more tan members of the Toronto hockey club?

    Is anyone else wondering if this Sparky was SO sparky he couldn’t even just put a wrong word in for how many sides it has? Instead had to babble about how it’s bedroom furniture for humans when it’s clearly furniture for sea creatures? Or lake creatures, wherever one prefers to acquire their aquatic pets.

      It could be that Spark’s name is Larry, and he hangs around lounges bothering iguana or fringed dragons, and the photo is of his swingin’ pad, er, terrarium . . .

      Or that Spark’s roommate, Bob the boa constrictor has left his bedroom suite, hence the lack of other photos (hard to edit your CL ad while hiding on the top shelf of the closet).
