Beautiful bed! Having ready mostly all of the reviews on this bed, I knew it would be a little tricky to set up but actually found it pretty straight forward. It took about 90 mins for myself and my husband to assemble. The headboard is fully adjustable up and down so there's no reason why you would have a gap between the headboard and mattress which I had read about. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because there were a couple dirty hand print on the foot board and side rails.  Looks like someone handled them with dirty hands somewhere along the lines. Disappointing.  Otherwise seems very well made, beautiful fabric, colour looks the same as the pics.
