I absolutely love my new bed! The quality is far greater then the price! Looks and feels like a $2,000 bed! The quality of the stitching, fabric, studs, and drawers exceeded my expectation. It was shipped promptly and arrived in 3 boxes. It was fairly easy to assemble, took my friend and I around an hour to put together! I paired it with white sheets with hints of royal blue to complete my vision in my room! It is noted that a box spring is not needed but I did utilize one to take away from some of the space between the headboard and the mattress since I chose to have the headboard sit higher. I would definitely recommend this bed to anyone who asked.
