Absolutely love this bed! I had never purchased furniture online, so I relied on other buyers' reviews. I had very specific criteria - an attached, higher, fully upholstered solid headboard, no openings (following Feng Shui principles), enough clearance underneath to get a vacuum under it, and the color had to compliment the chocolate colored accent wall it would be up against. I was looking for a modern mid-century look to boot. My hubby didn't want what he considered too feminine a look, and I didn't want too heavy or overly large furniture. I literally looked through over 3,000 beds on this website and a couple others. This bed is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Meets all my criteria, hubby's too. The light color is perfect against our dark wall, it's very nicely padded all the way around, it looks GREAT, and it's very STURDY! We have travertine flooring, and there is no squeaking or movement of the bed one bit. LOVE IT!
