Really a lovely bed!! The velvet definitely elevates the look and it’s not overly tuffeted. Easy to put together though please note when putting the legs of the headboard make sure the holes at the bottom face closer inward, the directions didn’t specify and I put them on backwards leaving the sideboards sticking out a bit and later wouldn’t allow the wood slats at the bottom to lay securely. Also wish the sideboards were one continuous piece since I’ve already stubbed my toe on the middle leg holding them together. But otherwise does the job and looks great!
