The look and color of this bed is just what I've been looking for!  I only worry that the velvet will stain, or scuff easily with young kids always jumping and running around our bed.  Also, the frame does not go all the way to the floor  so things slide under there easily.  I almost wish it was up a little higher so I could slide one of those storage boxes underneath. But overall I am really pleased with our purchase.  Our bedroom is finally coming together with this stunning bed!
