My bed arrived on time and at first I was a little intimidated by how many parts there were. So started reading the directions and had a tape measure to see what screws went where. At first it was challenging but then I began to see how it’s going together it’s OK to put together I’d like to say it’s really an awesome looking bet very happy with the purchase is a little bit darker gray than it is in the pictures but all in all excellent bad highly recommend it. I was going to purchase a Bernhardt bed but I really wanted the velvet bed and this really fit that niche of what I was looking for.
