The bed looks good and has a nice finish. The fabric is velvet and I thought it was cloth. When placing a 10” thick firm mattress, it buffed the velvet surface on the foot board which I was not happy about. The side panel boards are not supported along their length. They are attached to the head board and foot board and nothing in the middle to support the entire length which I think is a weak design. It could buckle in the middle or break. I have to be careful. The slats are not flat but are bow-shaped which makes it almost impossible to have a flat box spring on top. Overall a decent product considering the price.
