This bed is sooo beautiful. The upholstery is will put together, however, i am concerned with how long the bed it's self will hold up. Not sure how sturdy the wood slates, will last. It is a true blush pink, pale but the velvet fabric makes it super plush. It took my husband about 2 hours to assemble and had a friend help. I used the Aveline plush memory foam mattress from joss and main and it fit perfectly in the trundle. I used a standard mattress at the top.
