The look is very elegant, it's a beautiful bed, but not high quality as far as the materials that the bed was made with. The quality isn't bad, but it's not high end, that's for sure. The bed was easy to put together, simple and self explanatory. The bed frame is hallow mostly, but it does seem sturdy and supportive. Considering the bed is not high quality, it is still a strong enough bed. Right away at the beginning of assembly I didn't think so, but as all the pieces come together, it becomes more sturdy and stronger. It's a great bed for the money. They quality might not be the greatest, but you can't tell from the look of the bed. It looks expensive, just the frame is not as heavy as we thought it would be. Regardless, we are happy with the bed and it works just fine for us. I would recommend it.
