I ordered the king size in black. The velvet is very nice…the padding is very thick and firm which gives a very lovely high end look. Unfortunately, the first box came with a huge hole in it and tufted buttons dangling out and fabric damage. We didn’t even open it…just returned it. The replacement came and we put it together but couldn’t get the one side of the two piece headboard to line up…plus one side of the nailhead trim was crooked. 
I could see the potential for a very beautiful bed. If you want to take a chance on getting one constructed properly, as many have, it could be a very beautiful and sturdy bed for you…one that I think you will be quite surprised and very pleased with. Actually, it’s one of the most sturdy beds I’ve ever seen.
And as always, Wayfairs customer service is always top notch!
