The photo of the bed looks much nicer than it does in person. I wish they had close up pictures of the frame to show the finer details that aren’t in the description. I’m not too crazy about the plastic Diamond buttons but I could make it work. The faux wood or particle boards are extremely flimsy and came with scratches on them and the print was a little abnormal looking. Although shipping has nothing to do with the quality of the product, the box was pretty banged up and the handling could’ve had something to do with the imperfections. I have yet to put the bed up, I’m sort of terrified with how frail it seems! The black velvet is gorgeous though, true black, and the over all look is very appealing. I can’t expect too much out of the price point of this frame but we will see how it turns out, and how long it lasts once assembled!
