This is a great bed. It has many pieces and steps for assembly, whereas the bed we had previously to this was only 4-5 pieces. It took my husband 2.5 hours from start to finish to put together. But it looks great, upholstery has zero flaws. It's not a soft linen fabric but seems like it will hold up. Super happy with the clean lines and modern angles. 

We have a very thick mattress which covers up a good portion of the headboard, but I imagine if we had one of those mail-order mattresses that are thinner it would show more of it and look better. Overall, would recommend, great bang for the buck!
