I purchased this bed because of the style. Its very stylish and it works for both male and females. I thought the headboard was a fake leather, but its actually cloth. This works out well, but Im not sure how easy its going to be to clean. I do like the style. The picture on the website did not show it with a box spring. I added one since I did not want a low bed, and youre still able to see the headboard. I like the extra skirt that comes with the bed. Since the bed sits off the floor, you have the option to add the skirt. This is attached by a velcro strip.
