When I first bought the bed it was great. The package was very heavy. I live in a walk up and had to carry it up in pieces. The assembly was quick and the instructions were clear. You WILL need a box spring or something to support your mattress. I have owned this now for 4 months and the gold is no as vibrant as when it first arrived. The color is Fading significantly in the headboard section where the pillows are.￼￼ I’m looking to spray paint it so other solutions to bring the color back to live.
