I can’t begin to describe how beautiful this bed is. It’s plush, it’s fortuitous, it’s a statement. The storage at the foot of the bed is more than ample. The sides don’t come up quite as easy, but you can definitely store items there too. One docked star because the back of the bed had a small rip and, for some unknown reason, Wayfair wasn’t able to render the assembly services I paid for. Needless to say, I was refunded and given 10 for my trouble. Not the smoothest first experience with Wayfair but it’s not deterring me at all from using them again.  My dad was able to put the bed together by himself. He said it wasn’t the easiest but once he got the hang of it, he finished it in 2 hours ALONE. The bed is great, you won’t regret. It.
