Beautiful, sturdy bed. While putting it together, we had issues getting the alignment right and it was a lot of trial and error with the legs of the bed. It was very confusing but we got it put together in about 2 hours. The upholstery on the bed is a very nice and thick fabric. There is some gaping with our mattress on the sides, but I don't think that is the fault of the frame, and you can't see it when the bed is made.
