I purchased the product because I like the looks and the previous reviews alluded to a quality build. Even though they are not completely false, I would say 4-1/2 star rating is definitely a praise not fitting for this bed. Here are the problems that I found with my bed:
  - the wings of the head board do not stand flat on the floor. That is extremely annoying because every time you shake the headboard lightly the bed shakes.
  - the support beam in the center (for the queen size) is not firm. 
  - the bed frame is light, making the bed unstable

Pros: - velvet headboard (great texture)
