The only negative about this bed is how heavy it is when it's shipped to you. I got a king, so of course it was huge and heavy. Out of the box it was quite simple to assemble. My husband and I had a bed in less than half an hour. Everything fits together obviously, and instructions are clear. The fabric is high quality and feels like it could take some damage with a smile. I love the look of the bed - sleek and sexy. The headboard rises enough that you feel cocooned by it around your head. I got a 12" mattress and it fits perfectly. Overall a great, comfy, attractive bed.
