The bed is beautiful especially if you style it correctly. Upclose the bed does have small design on it. But it’s not too noticeable. Bed was a bit of a struggle to put together. The instructions are not too clear. Due to comments I was worried about purchasing this bed. Not sure why there were a few comments regarding space between mattress and bed. Maybe the size of the mattress box was too small. But I purchased a standard size queen mattress box and everything fit perfectly. Overall I would recommend this bed, perfect price and good quality for what you are paying.
