Bed with 4 Bedposts

[myfs_65604]

Dear Cecil/Robert;
I have a question regarding the bed, what is the meaning of bed which has 4 bedposts that is very tall, and looks like pointing arrow to the ceiling? Also the headboard is very strong and solid wood, and the headboard has a pointing arrow in the middle and it also points to the ceiling. In other words the bed looks like Spanish Style. (The price is about USD $900)
The bed is quite high, and requires a footstep to step on the bed.
Kindly, please advice me for this type of bed.

Dear Hardjo,
A poster bed is useful if there is a slanted ceiling. The four posts hold e.g. laced cloth. And with it, it will negate the sha qi.
Enclosed please find a sample of a poster bed. Many poster beds does not have a roof as shown in the picture.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
