What is a bedside smart column?+
A finished column each side of the bed carrying lit shelves, power sockets, phone charging, sound and light control. They are sold as a pair, one each side, with an optional upholstered headboard between them. Together they are what we call the Bedside Smart Columns.
What does a pair cost?+
The Caledonian Bedside Smart Column is priced per pair, including a 20% promotional discount. A 400mm pair is Lite £1,600 ex VAT, Plus £1,750 ex VAT and Sound £2,150 ex VAT. A 600mm pair is Lite £2,150 ex VAT, Plus £2,300 ex VAT and Sound £2,700 ex VAT. An 800mm pair is Lite £2,700 ex VAT, Plus £2,850 ex VAT and Sound £3,250 ex VAT. Delivery, in custom-made wooden boxes, is £165 ex VAT per order.
Which width should I choose?+
Measure the wall either side of your bed. The 400mm column is the original and suits most bedrooms. The 600mm column gives each side more room. The 800mm column is too big for most bedrooms, so it suits larger rooms and hotels. Every width comes in the same three models with the same options at the same prices. Not sure? Send us a photograph of the wall and we will tell you what fits.
What is the difference between Lite, Plus and Sound?+
Caledonian Lite has one lit upper shelf on each column. Caledonian Plus adds a lit lower shelf and an internal shelf socket on each column. Caledonian Sound is Caledonian Plus with smart speakers in place of the upper shelf. Every pair runs its shelf lights from one smart switch. On Caledonian Sound, sound and lights can be controlled from your phone. The automatic curtain closing system is an add-on for any pair, and closes the curtains from the wall panel or your phone.
What options can I add?+
Sockets are £75 on one column or £140 on both (£85 and £150 with USB-C) on every model. Caledonian Lite can add a matching stand-alone drawer cabinet at £145, or £330 for a pair. Caledonian Plus and Sound can add an integrated drawer pack at £270 for one column or £450 for both, a magnetic phone charger in the drawer at £132 each, reading lights at £85 each and a smart switch on both columns for £95. Caledonian Sound can also take a wall panel in place of the switch on one column for £375. All prices ex VAT.
Can I order a pair online?+
Yes. Choose a model and width, pick your finish and options on its page, and check out. The pair is built in our Glasgow factory and delivered in custom-made wooden boxes. Installation is quoted separately: add a note at checkout.
Can I buy just one column?+
Yes. Most people fit a pair, but if you only have room for, or only need, one side of the bed, we build a single column to the same specification. Send us an enquiry and we will price it for your room.
Does it work with my existing bed?+
Yes. The columns are built around the bed you already own, sized to your bed and wall width. Nothing is replaced. If you would like a new bed, frame, divan base or mattress we can supply those too.
How disruptive is the installation?+
The columns are built in our Glasgow factory and arrive finished. Installation around an existing bed is measured in hours, not weeks. No plaster, no tiling, no bedroom out of use for a fortnight.
What finishes are available?+
The full Carbon Rock Board range: marble and stone, wood grain, brushed and mirrored metal, and solid colours, plus upholstery colours for the headboard. Samples are sent free.
