The fabric was not what I was expecting, I thought it’d be more of a true velvet material and it’s more of a blanket material, but soft and comfy just looks cheaper than I thought. Assembly took about 30-40 minutes which I thought was pretty quick. We had one screw that was defected so we weren’t able to use but that didn’t affect the assembly. There is a supporting foot piece on the size of the bed in the middle which we keep stubbing our toe on….pretty frustrating ha. We put a 12” mattress on the frame so it sits pretty low, have plenty of room to see the headboard. Might look into getting a box spring just to raise the mattress to a more comfortable height.
