The bed quality seems more like a 700 bed than a 1700 bed (taxes in). The only reason why we are keeping it is because it would be a pain to break it apart again and ship it back since it some how fit in a compact box when they first shipped it. The fabric is luxurious however the actual foam of the bed is not. When you sit on the bed, you do sink in. Maybe adding a wood piece to the upper portion of the bed will make it more sturdy. Looks beautiful though!
