Considering how few of these I see these days I don't think this is an unpopular opinion

I hate them because I shattered a toe against a captains bed, not expecting solid wood

The only time a bedskirt didn’t piss me off is when it was screwed into the box spring, so it couldn’t move and get twisted or shift when you made the bed.

That’s the kind of thing I come to Reddit for. Consider it DONE! I hate wresting with the damn thing but also don’t like staring at the cheap metal frame and all the stuff stored under the bed.

I guess technically they’re called upholstery pins?
But they held the damn thing in place so it wasn’t constantly getting messed up.

Great tip, were they spaced pretty close together all the way around the box spring?

I think there was one at each corner, then one in the middle on each side.
So 8 total? But you can always put more if you want to really make sure it can’t budge.

If it was good enough for my obsessive WASP grandmother to have ironed and put on the beds, changing them from winter to summer, it’s good enough for me. Bring me some crisp, white, lace-trimmed faille, box-pleated bed skirts. Everyone agrees with OP unfortunately as I can’t find them anywhere. I think this is a very popular opinion.

Please remember what subreddit you are in, this is unpopular opinion. We want civil and unpopular takes and discussion. Any uncivil and ToS violating comments will be removed and subject to a ban. Have a nice day! Additionally, all posts held by automod for review now (incorrectly) display a red “removed by moderators” label. Please note that unless your post receives a reply from mods indicating removal and it's specifying the reason, it is likely still in the queue and awaiting approval.
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

This isn't an unpopular opinion to me, but my wife says it is so I must upvote you.
