It's very pretty in my daughter's room, (fog grey, full size)  I figure she'll need a bigger bed in a few years and wanted something pretty without spending a lot and for the price, it's great and looks beautiful! We used a regular box spring and mattress and set the headboard at its highest setting.
 It arrived in great shape no stains, fabric problems, etc.  Went together fairly easily.  I do not however, expect this bed to last for years and years.  It's just not that high quality but it works great for our use.
