Just as described!  
A pretty bed that looks good and is easy to assemble. The multiple boxes its shipped in make it easy to transport for assembly!
My only disappointment was the velvet didn't look as plush in person as the photo and the back of the bed isn't the same blue velvet.  So if you cant line your bed flush with the wall (molding sometimes prevents that) you can see the back of the bed is a black fabric (likely so the blue doesnt rub off on walls).
Again, the bed is easy to assemble, impressively so.  And easy to remove the headboard to move around (say into another room) after assembling.
The gold legs add a nice, regal touch and you cannot see the interior frame legs when you step back and look at the bed as a whole.  
This bed is BIG though. You'll either feel like a queen on her throne or a mouse overpowered by the size. I strongly suggest measuring your room when considering to be the size is what youre looking for!
