I bought this bed in California King before later buying an adjustable mattress and frame. I was worried that it would not accommodate the very expensive bed but it did perfectly. The velvet is soft and true chocolate brown in color. Price could not be beat for similar items in retail stores. The wings are not very pronounced at all but it is a little harder to pull a sheet and blankets all the way to the top of your mattress when headboards have wings. I have no problem with that and like the product very much.
