Wow! This bed is so rich in color. This blue has a satin finish and the finish makes the bed look very expensive. The first week something was spilled on the bed and it wiped off as if nothing was there. It’s sturdy but you only need a mattress for this bed. The headboard is not that tall and you want it to show all the way. The good news is the bed comes with a box spring base! Sonoworries you worries you los
