		approximately 4 feet wider than the bed, and includes a
		soft-pink neon light for indirect illumination.  Mattress
		is included.

Nightstands	Nestle into headboard, each with two drawers.

Dresser		Six drawers, approximately 6 feet wide.  

Mirror		For above dresser.  Indirectly Neon-lit.

Armoire		Nearly six feet tall and over three feet wide.  Two doors
		with shelving inside, and two full-width drawers on the
		bottom.  Doors slightly scratched by over-enthusiastic
		three year old.

Again, best offer over $2500.  The headboard is a massive piece of work -
you will need a truck to remove it.  Located in Potomac, MD.  For
